Happy Thanks Giving

This week in the

Freedom, those that have served our country and those that serve her still; God, for everything; my wife for saying ‘I do’ and meaning it; for my sons, my everyday inspiration; my dogs, for loving me. For my health and my doctors for helping me keep it; for my employer and the checks he provides me; for those that read this, hopefully you benefit from it in some way; and for everything I have in life and for all that I will ever achieve, for if not for all the above, my life would be unfulfilled.

Seems quite simple doesn’t it, my life and the things I am thankful for; how about you?

One of my doctors is my dentist and I am thankful that she helps me retain my smile; and to pay it forward, I share my life with you in hopes that you too will smile. The older I become, for which I am also thankful; the more I like to give than to receive; how about you?

A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.
Jackie Robinson 

My sons have presented me with life’s greatest gift in that their lives have impacted me so much, that I would be a fool not to share it with you. 

Simple yet, how many times during the day do we forget that what we are doing is impacting others, whether or not we admit it, recognize it or not. And this too impacts how we deal with others and how they deal with us, which leads us in either a vicious circle or a life well lived. The choice is simple, the act takes effort. 

We trust in those that care for and teach our children when we send them to school, this is true of all parents; however parents of children with special needs also trust in those that care for our children with their safety; just the other day, Hunter decided to take a trip to the swing set on the school grounds without permission or knowledge of his care taker. Thankfully he was located within minutes as the entire school was alerted of his absence and when his mother arrived at school to retrieve him, she asked that the ‘campus police officer’ reprimand Hunter for his ‘poor choice’ for his safety, to which the officer replied as he looked at Hunter (Hunter having tears in his eyes) ‘oh no, I cant scold him, look . . .’ but after careful consideration and with a stern face the officer knelt down and looked Hunter in his teary eyes and said ‘what you did was unsafe and it scared everyone, please don’t do that again, ok’. . . . . Impact . . . 

Happy Thanks Giving
