Thankful For...

-  My Job.  It's not glorious.  In the grand scheme of things it won't matter much at all but it's a job.  I've met many great and interesting people, established friendships and have a butt-load of funny stories to tell.  It isn't a career but let's face it I don't appear to be a career-oriented person, do I?  The best thing about the job is that it allows me to provide for my family... for now.
- A New Reliable Car.  Several months ago we bought a used Honda Accord.  It's quite a relief to have a dependable car.  I still do not enjoy being a car owner, and all of the headaches that go along with being one but I am happy to have made a solid purchase.
-  My Family.  Sara, and I are expecting another child this Spring and Evie Sue couldn't be more excited about becoming a big sister.  This time around the pregnancy is less mysterious and overwhelming but, rather, more familiar and fun.  Adding to our immediate family, of course, adds enormous stress to our lives but the way I figure it everyone has stress in their life.  The trick is in how you manage the stress.  I'm trying to get better at the stress management.
So as the Holidays continue, I originally intended this to be a Thanksgiving post, I will try to keep everything in perspective.  The year of 2014 is drawing to a close and I am not sure how much longer I will continue to post on this blog; it just isn't a priority anymore.  Things change.  Life marches ever onward and who knows what is next?  (Possibly, I will repost this entry with some pics soon... or maybe not.)
