Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!
I don't have much time to put a lengthy post today and I will not be blogging tomorrow so here is a list of things I am thankful for.
My wife and boys, they are the reason behind everything I do.
The rest of my family and I am especially thankful to be able to share this Thanksgiving with my Grand mother after all the trouble she has had this year.
For a multitude of friends who not only help keep me sane and grounded (nobody will remind you of your faults as often as a good friend) but also for the encouragement with my writing and for being there when I need them in general.
For everyone who sacrifices a bit of their time to read these crazy notions that fill my head and find their way to this blog.
And I'm especially thankful for those of you who take the time to comment and have become my cyber-buddies.
Also I am thankful that I have a good paying job which allows me time to write on the side, because I'd be one skinny dude if I depended on my words to put meat on the table.
My life might not be perfect, but I am pretty dang fat and happy and other that a nice big book deal I can't think of much to wish for. Hope all of y'all can say the same. Check back Friday for a interesting picture.
Travis,
ReplyDeleteThis is a truly beautiful post-- heartfelt, well written and says all that I feel.
You are a person who recognizes the important things in life. (If that doesn't sound like a fortune cookie, I don't know what does! ;) )
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving Travis & family!
ReplyDeleteYes, we have lots and lots to be thankful for. Give your Granny & Mom a hug for me!
a good paying job that puts MEAT on the table! I have to agree - skip the veggies and move on to the important food category! Lettuce is for rabbits.
what a great post, Travis. I'm going to try to copy you and post a 'what I'm thankful for' post myself soon...
