A time of thanks and giving.
I know I have been a major slacker with my entries. It is foundation time of year and that always makes things busier than normal. Also, we have made some major changes to the businesses. We merged one of them and we combined the others into an S-Corp. Mainly for tax purposes but also because we have gotten to a point to where we needed to streamline and update ourselves as a company. This also means we have had to upgrade things on the technology end. Growing pains are sometimes fun, sometimes hard, sometimes exciting…just everything at once.
Graigg went fishing last week in Mexico. I’m not sure if he really enjoyed it. He did except that I know he was hoping to get more of the big game. He did end up with some good sized rooster fish and he loved the fight with those. Oh, and he caught Crush…
Well, not really the REAL Crush and not on purpose. The turtle got caught on his hook. He reeled him in and then carefully took the hook off and then let him go. Haha. DUUUUUUUUDE! Anyway, after the second day of fishing he wanted to come back. I think he liked the down time but only for a day or two. He said it was too long to be gone from me and the kids. How sweet! SO we were able to find a flight for $200 for Thursday! He came home a day early and we were ALL so excited to see him!!!
This week is Thanksgiving (yeah, doi) and I have to say since I have started doing my gratitude journal here I have really come to see just how much on a daily basis I have that I am so blessed for! By no means does it mean that my life is happy and go-lucky every day but being able to dwell on the good has really helped me handle the trials we have had lately. It has also helped me really appreciate so much the holiday itself. I think it was genius of Abraham Lincoln to have Thanksgiving so close to Christmas…those two holidays really do go hand in hand which is probably why I don’t care when Christmas overlaps.
Well, I just got back from the gym and my mind is totally mush. I have nothing to say anymore. LOL So I’ll end with my gratitude journal and a song.
I am grateful for….
1. The Atonement – the fact that I am loved so much I am worth saving.
2. my son and the blessings that he brings into my life and the privileged it is mine to raise him.
3. my eternal companion and the common goals we share.
4. my mickey candy cane lights – yeah I had to go there.
5. the fact that my needs are met and that we are fortunate enough to help others. I truly feel that no matter how little you have when you give to others the blessings come back tenfold.
Not a song but I couldn’t resist..
