Did you miss me?....
Hello all. After being taken back that people actually read my blogs, the pressure to write something has been looming. Its like instant writers block. Its easy to rant when no one is paying attention. But as soon as someone other than your good friend comments..None the less, here I am. Because life is a state of mind. And I am determined to become the head of my state.
Off subject, I obviously found some time to be able to sit down and put some thoughts out there.
Things are still real busy but its the holidays and its not all about work anymore for me. Don't get me wrong, when I am working a project, there is no slow lane. Its go, go, go until its done. But come on, life is to short to not ateast stop for a holiday.
What else....umm....Yeah, my life is boring. Seems exciting to the untrained eye, but really its not. I am just a normal guy trying to get by just like everyone else. I just chose to take a path with a different set of bumps than maybe yours.
Anyway, you may have noticed that I barely mentioned the holiday. Not that I was avoiding it. I certainly have alot to be thankful for. I just wanted to get a few other things out of the way first before it turned into a stereotypical Holiday greeting.
So here we go. Today, like most, I am celebrating a holiday of giving thanks. Another year has passed and I have been blessed to still be here with everyone, physically and spiritually. Which leads me to things I am thankful for. Today I am givnig thanks for having a great family, immediate and extended. With out them everything else I am thankful for would not be possible.
I give thanks for my home. Even though at times I complain that its hard to maintian a warm safe place to live, I am blessed that i have one while others are not as fortunate.
I am also thankful for the ability to maintain. No matter how hard it seems atleast I am healthy, enough, to keep things going day in and day out. Which leads me to an off shoot of that. Along the same principle as the state of mind, I have quit smoking. It was hard to find that state of mind to put the cancer sticks out for good, but I did. Its only been about two months but I am not going back. No way. So I want to give thanks to everyone who has taken notice and has been super supportive. With you guys behind me, it seems easier everyday.
I could keep going. There are a million things to be thankful for. But I think everyone knows that. Cause we all as a people have alot to be thankful for and we should never forget that.
Happy holidays everyone. And when its over, don't loose that feeling. We should all be thankful everyday. If not for any other reason that you got out of bed. Because there are alot of peole who won't.
Keep smiling everyone!
Mike
