Giving Thanks

To most of the world, my life must seem pretty plush. But to me right now, there is plenty to stress about and not to be happy about. However, today is a day of thanks. Here is what I am taking time to be thankful about.
  • My family, for being so so so consistent, serving great food, making great conversation, and being so  fun.
  • For Amy, more recently for accompanying me down to the Pass and putting up with my crazy family, but more importantly for her unconditional love and support!
  • For my friends, whether connected or estranged, you all mean so much to me, and have greatly shaped the young man I am today.
  • For my school, for carrying me through these last four years, and helping me create such a great foundation for becoming an educator.
  • For the schools, for allowing me and my colleagues to begin our careers, and put our philosophies into action.
  • For my country, which is full of flaws but has one of the most usable systems to correct them, and which guarantees so many freedoms.
  • For Toni, for getting my mind going again, and inspiring me to start a journey of understanding and self-betterment.
  • For my dogs, who give me nothing but comfort.
  • For my colleagues who inspire me everyday.
  • For God, for everything.
  • And so much more. Those are the things on my mind right now.
What are you thankful for?
