I Am One Blessed Individual

You know, I am one blessed individual. Sometimes, I’ll start feeling a little down about this situation or that, nothing really all that important. It may just be the fact that it seem to always be raining around here. A fact about myself, I hate rain. I know that it is needed in the worst way. I love drinking water. And if you look at the picture on my website it is also evident that I do enjoy eating more than occasionally, but I must say it’s a good thing that I’m not God. We would probably all starve to death or if it did rain in your area you would know that you were not in my presence.

But anyway I’ve just been thinking today about really when looked at objectively, what a wonderful life I do have. I’m married to my dream girl. I met her about 10 years ago and I was smitten at first sight. I still remember walking into Hardees and there she was in her Hardees uniform sitting there behind the drink fountains taking her break. It took me over 6 months to finally work up the nerve to ask her out, but now here I am married to her for the last 8 years, and loving every minute of it.

This last December, God blessed us with a sweet little girl. If I didn’t believe in love at first sight before, I do now. I think it took all of 2 seconds for her to completely capture my heart. Really I’ve just got to tell you that she is the prettiest, and sweetest baby in the world. Really, I’m not a bit prejudice either.

But seriously I’ve got a great family. I’ve even got great in-laws. That’s different isn’t it. At a time when so many people are unemployed, I’m able to make a living. I know that when talking about being thankful it is almost cliché to always mention your health, but you know I know of someone that a week ago they felt great and this last week they found out that they only have a few weeks left to live. I must say that I really am thankful for my health. And I am thankful that even if I were to find out that I was going to die within a short time, I’ve lived a wonderful life and my eternity has been already taken care of.
