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.

I wrote a review for a book title It’s OK to Tell earlier today on the News and Reviews Blog, and I won’t repeat what I said about the book here, but reading it I did have a thought that was completely unrelated to the book. In it, Lauren talks about the “absence” of her…
