when you're happy like a fool...

In the words of Theodore Roosevelt, 


"Let us remember that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds."


As the eve of Thanksgiving falls upon us, I sit sipping wine, surrounded by my boys, warm and cozy, loved by friends near and far, and missed by family. I can not answer the monotonous and customary "What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?".


Um... what am I not thankful for? You would be a fool to pick one solitary thing. I look around and am so thankful for EVERYTHING. God. My church. My parents. My brother and sisters. My friends. My house. My dogs. My bed. My memories. 


Everything.


It's a good life and don't you dare forget it. 



Happy Thanksgiving.
