Food Truck Fridays

Day #242 of 2019 was a great day, as many palindromic days are.  Was off of work (did read a bunch of emails) because we had to replace our HVAC System and Water Heater (a fact of life when you've been in your house for 15+ years).  But the day just got better once Sarah got home from work as we ventured to the main business area of our town for the Civic Association's Final Friday Food Truck event.  Usually we just grab food and come home and eat it, but this time we took our chairs and parked ourselves and got to visit with neighbors, family, and friends as we munched on the food truck food.  It was a really nice evening, weather was nice (for late August) and I am glad we were able to go.  I have much gratitude for Food Truck Fridays (and for all of the members of the Civic Association who work so hard to pull these off.)

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.
