My personal Thanksgiving Thanks

For what am I thankful today?

A HUUUUGE number of thingees!

1.) First and foremost, Honorable Husband. Definitely my better half – he knows me better than I know myself. We’ve both had uptimes and downtimes but yep – the past 20 years…. I married the best person for me.

1.) My kids! Talk about distinctive personalities…. lots of character-building moments but I couldn’t imagine a better set of tiny people.

1.) The fact I’m above ground today. After my ankle fusion, I mourned not being able to run. Now after my knee surgery, I mourned not being able to walk normally. Still, though – life is what it is….how you choose to rebound from it all is what makes the difference.

If I was below ground that option would never exist again.

1.) My friends and colleagues. Starting with Debbie Benstein and Dennis Becker and Brad Spencer and Ben Adkins and countless others….I cherish those who have been there for me when the going gets tough and have always walked the walk they talk.

1.) My mooses and TwitterBudgies! Because…. mooses. And Budgies of Steele!

1.) The beverage of the gods as well. 

And did you notice….

EVERY one of those points.   Was prefaced.

By #1.

Because they’re all powerful to me.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Grow strong,

Barbara Ling
