… the chance to find a companion with whom I can share each day of my life, who has the strength and flexibility to stick with me through thick and thin.
… the opportunity to work with computers. I had no idea early in life that I would become a computer geek, but here I am.
… the chance to watch two brilliant girls grow up.
… a headache that seems like it will only last half of Monday.
… a job (perhaps I should leave it at that, but I’m also thankful for a job …) that lets me get up and take a walk when my brain gets fried.
I’m thankful that my wife and I have found a way to balance our differing religious beliefs. I have heard about many that haven’t been as fortunate. One thing that helped is the chapter on mixed marriages in Parenting Beyond Belief.
I am grateful for the warm sunshine on my face as I study outside.
I am grateful to be alive.
I am thankful for the time that I’ve been able to spend with my family this long weekend. I had a fun date with my wife and have this holiday to spend a little extra time with my girls.
I am grateful that we will have a new president tomorrow. I hope that it will represent a real improvement in national leadership.
It’s funny how television programs from childhood can embed themselves in the unconscious. I watch the 3-2-1 Contact intro and it’s as if the last 20 years never happened. I remember every snippet of the montage: the water drop, the kissed baby, the frog, the trampoline, everything.
