Thankfulness

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

After work today we’ll be off to celebrate the holiday with Angela’s parents, and spending the whole weekend visiting. I’m looking forward to the down time, it’s been a very hectic week! 🙂

I’m glad too, that I’ll have some time to savor the things that I am truly thankful for, the live that I have with my wife, and the mental health that has made it all possible after those many years of instability in my own life.

I hope you can find the time to be thankful for the good things in your life this weekend too, no matter how small they may seem in your everyday life.

    This story about the newly released documents from the New Jersey Child Welfare system are very sad. I know children service administrations try to do the best they can but, obviously, they need to do better. No child should be put in these situations by the very people who are supposed to be protecting them.
