The World Series

It's day #303 of 2019, a palindromic day.  And maybe that's why, even though my stomach forced me to work from home today, it was a productive day and I got to spend the day with Skylar, my dog!  And now, in the evening of 10/30/19, we are watching the 7th game of the World Series.  I have no real rooting interest in this game, I have reasons to root against both teams and I have friends who are fans of both teams, so i am just interested in watching good baseball.  And, it's bittersweet, because this is the last baseball we will watch until Spring Training in Feb/March..... The Void, it's tough, but we will survive.  Tonight, my gratitude is for the World Series.  I know baseball is a sport that does not move fast enough for many people, but it will always be my first sports love.

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.
