I am realizing that it is going to be IMPOSSIBLE to just name one thing per day this month that I am thankful for…I am TRULY BLESSED. So…I might have a daily list of thanks 🙂
Dave Matthews Band – I read a post this morning asking “if you could let a friend who has never listened to DMB before hear 3 of their songs, which ones would you choose?” That is almost impossible for me but with much thought I would probably say 1-#41 (part of the inspiration for the name of my website-it is NOT because of my age). 2-Mercy (it is a newer song and Dave is spot on…it is going to take all of us working together to make a change in this world). 3-Two Step (This song can be interpreted in many ways…but my favorite lyric of all is “Celebrate we will because life is short but sweet for certain”). My list could go on and on really. This band has inspired me for almost 15 years now and I am so thankful for finding them way back when. I have had SO MANY amazing experiences traveling to see them in different cities. The people who have gone along for the ride are part of the unforgettable memories…and the friends I have made because of my passion for this band I will cherish forever…because they “get it”.
Family – And in particular today…my niece Erin. She and her friend drove here from PA to visit her Pappap (my dad 🙂 )for a very quick visit and I got to see her today for lunch. I am SO GLAD that she made the effort to come. She knows that time is precious…and she wants to have as many memories as possible and make the effort to visit her Grandpa and I think that is just amazing…being that she lives about 650 miles away. The people you love are what truly matters in this life and I know that she “gets it”. I seem to be using that term a lot today 🙂 But it is a good thing. She is an adventure seeker like myself and I see a lot of me in her. Today I am thankful for my niece who is 25 and ALIVE and although I do not get to see her very often I admire her and love her dearly.
Sonic cheesecake bites – Okay this is a silly one! But thank you AL (formerly known as “Anna” here) for turning me on to them. Deep fried cheesecake??? Oh yes!
Today was a great day! 🙂
