Thanks

Well, it is a chilly Thanksgiving Morning. Actually, I have not gone outside. Hell, I haven’t even gotten out of bed, but it seems cold outside. The bed is soooooo toasty and comfy. Got The Parade on the tube, blankets all wrapped around me and I even have company in the bed. Yes, the dog and the two cats are sharing in my Turkeyday laziness. What? Did you really think it was a woman in bed with me? No sexy, fun time here - just us fuzzy beasts enjoying the Macy’s tradition.

I am going to keep this short as I do need to get up and dressed pretty soon.

I just want everyone to have a Happy Thanksgiving and I hope that you all enjoy your family and friends.

There is one thing I would like to remind everyone to remember. Life is very uncertain and ever-changing, so be sure that you cherish the moments that you have with the people that really matter. The ones who really care for and love you and for whom you feel the same; the ones who turn to you and to whom you turn; the ones who have always been there when you needed or wanted – those are the people who really matter. Hold them close, whether in person or in your heart, because the reality of life is that in the blink of an eye they can be gone.

Someone said “life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away.” I disagree slightly. While the “moments that take our breath away” are great and memorable, I believe that the best parts of life are the comfortable, happy times that are spent with the people we care about. It may be just a smile over a cup of coffee, a look and a kiss before drifting off to sleep, a story at bedtime, a hug when you need it, a raunchy joke at an inappropriate time or just sitting and talking. These are the moments that are truly our lives - and while they may not “take our breath away,” they are comfortable and warm and they matter most. They are moments when you are just breathing.

Today, I am thankful for those times in my life.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Until Next Time,

Wayne
