So maybe I’m just going to do two every other day.

23rd Day of Thanksgiving, or T-minus 5 and counting. Yeah, I didn’t get around to it yesterday. So, yesterday I was thankful for changing seasons, and having some winter-like weather. Don’t get me wrong—I’ve lived in the deep south all my life, and I’m very thankful for that (hey…!). But I do enjoy living in […]

22nd Day of Thanksgiving, or T-minus 6 and counting

22nd Day of Thanksgiving, or T-minus 6 and counting

Today I’m thankful for humor. In fact, I’m pretty dependent on it. I laugh a lot. I laugh at clever things, silly things, obscure things, absurd things. I look for humor, I find humor in everyday situations every day. More often, though, I find it without even looking. I guess you could say it finds […]

21st Day of Thanksgiving

I’m very thankful for all the resources with which I’ve been blessed. God knows they’re a pure gift—I haven’t earned them! But I am grateful, and I’ll do my best to use them wisely.

20th Day of Thanksgiving (T-minus 8 and counting)

Today I’m thankful for Not-Net. Years ago, my friend and business acquaintance, Joe Paul, started a networking group. It met at 7am every Wednesday morning, and participants would have breakfast and network — talk about their business, develop strategy, make contacts, set goals, and like that. I became a member, and we met every week […]

19th Day of Thanksgiving

19th Day of Thanksgiving

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I forgot again. Today (or yesterday) I am (or was) thankful for the education I was fortunate to receive. I didn’t always take advantage of it the way I could and should have, but it was there. I went to kindergarten (circa the dawn of time) at the First Baptist Church of Prichard […]

Friends

Today, the 18th Day of Thanksgiving (T-minus 10 and counting), I’m thankful for friends. I’ve had (and have) some dynamite ones! Tina, who shared my childhood. Nancy, who grew up with me (we were besties in high school and were in each other’s weddings, and kept in touch all those year since then — even […]

The Founder's Chapel

The Founder’s Chapel

On this, the 17th Day of Thanksgiving (T-minus 11 and counting), I’m thankful for the Founder’s Chapel at White’s Chapel UMC. White’s Chapel is a very large United Methodist church, the only one in Southlake. It’s too big for me, and I have some problems with how they spend their money, but the Founder’s Chapel…oh, […]

16th Day of Thanksgiving

16th Day of Thanksgiving

Seriously, I wrote this yesterday, on the 16th. After a lengthy pause to go search for the quote, I kept working on it, then stopped when it got to be time to make dinner. I thought, “I’ll come back later and put in all the links.” Uh, no. I remembered it after I was already […]

15th Day of Thanksgiving (T-minus 13 and counting)

Today (or, actually, tonight) I’m thankful for a quiet, cozy home life. I know a lot of people like to go out, and we go out sometimes (mostly to hockey and baseball games, because I can’t help myself), but I really, truly enjoy spending time at home. I’ve always been something of a homebody, even […]

Dang it!

All right, I forgot AGAIN. Dang it! So, let’s say that yesterday, the 14th day of Thanksgiving (or T-minus 14 and counting, man I’m sorry I missed that), I was thankful for the Interwebs. It’s useful. Personal computers were just becoming commonplace when I was twenty-something. I actually learned how to use a terminal on […]
