The holidays are upon us


Wow, Thanksgiving has come and gone. This marks the beginning of the holiday season. Less than four weeks until Christmas and then its New Years! Where has this time gone???
During the drive to and from my Thanksgiving pre-dinner 10k I began thinking about how I forget or take for granted so many things.
I am so incredibly thankful for:
• my entire family, they are always there for me no matter what
• my friends
• for those who have touched my life even just for an instance
• for those friends who are no longer on this earth physically but guide me spiritually
• my health
• instances in my life which have made me who I have become today
• my little nephews who have brought the enjoyment of grandPARENThood to my parents, particularly my Dad who was working such long hours as we were growing up providing for us
• my parents for teaching me discipline and responsibility
• fellow members of TriWisconsin and Badgerland Striders, I have made so many new friends thru these clubs
• learning not to stress out so much, some things are simply out of our control
• accepting me for who I am, good or bad
• having the opportunity to travel and experience other cultures
• Ted
I hope each of you find reason for Thanksgiving in your lives.
Tis the season...
