Music

The 160th day of 2019 was a VERY musical day.  Started off at Church, Pentecost AND Choir Appreciation Sunday (last Sunday of Choir until the Fall AND last Sunday for our amazing organist Beth Manus).  We were able to attend because our next musical event, Alexa and Anna's Piano Recital, was moved to 12:45PM.  We rushed there after the Anthem and heard some amazing playing from all of the kids sharing their musical gifts.  And then it was off to the Collingswood Sings Community performance of Fauré's Requiem.  The performance was wonderful.  Then dinner and some family time including the re-watching the videos of the prior events.  So, on 6/9/19, I am going to pick a familiar theme for my attitude of gratitude: MUSIC!  I am so grateful for music and being able to perform music and for my kids who love music and love performing.  For our parents who instilled a love of music and performing music in both Sarah and me and for THEIR parents who inspired it in them.  Music is a major part of my life and, today, it was at the very forefront.  Thank you Music!

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.
