Colls Basketball Fans

My daughter's basketball season (the next to last one) came to an end on the 58th day of 2018.  On 2/27/19, the Panthers fell, in double OT, to the Bulldawgs of Haddonfield.  I do not want to focus on the sadness of the loss or the end of the season (both of which I am feeling today), but I DO want to focus on something for which I am very grateful (this IS about an attitude of gratitude and all!)  Tonight I am reflecting on how awesome the fans have been for this team in the Playoffs.  First, at home, on Monday, the crowd of students was large, loud, and proud!  And MANY of them made the trek to Cherry Hill East HS (the HMHS Gym is not available this season) to cheer on the girls in their 2nd round game.  Also present were a plethora of parents who did not even have kids on the team (and even a few who do not even have kids in the School anymore!).  All to support this wonderful team and lift them (almost) to victory.  I want to especially express thanks to the boy's basketball team and the wrestling team who really came out in full force.  It's great to see such a display of school spirit and, I have to say, they had some collegiate level cheering going on there!!  So ROLL COLLS!  And thank you to all who supported the girls this year!

A Night with No Plans

The evening of the 59th day was a unicorn.  After work on 2/28/19, we actually had nothing planned.  Anna and Sarah went to the gym, Alexa went out with friends, and I chilled at home.  Tonight, I am thankful for this brief respite (I know it will ramp right back up real soon).  Goodnight!

Being a Father

6/16/2019 is Father's Day.  And I spent the 166th day of 2019 doing things with my family.  Church, clothes shopping (I did need new (and smaller, thank goodness) clothes), naps, Disney Movies on TV, a GREAT dinner (mmmm lasagna by Sarah), and then more catching up on TV with the family.  I am so blessed that, on 4/2/2002, I was made a father.  Being a father has pretty much defined me since that day.  I am so grateful for being a father, as well as being thankful for those who have advised me and taught me and have helped me become a better father.  This, of course, includes my fathers and grandfathers, who have been shining examples to me, but also for all of those other people in my life who have been models and mentors, my mom, other relatives, my wife, friends, etc.  So, to all who have been in my life in regard to my parenting, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!  (and thank you!)

More Numbers

Today, 11/24/19, is Day #328 of 2019.  As with most Sundays, after Church, I counted, with my counter colleagues, the offering that was collected.  So, on day 328, the Loose Offering was $27 and the total cash was $273.  I know it might sound geeky, but this is where my gratitude lies today.  I love that these are more numbers to make me happy.  And I am glad that a simple set of numbers can start my day off in a good manner.
