At the beginning of the month, I began posting a reason I have to be thankful on my Facebook page every morning, this is today's entry:
"This morning I am thankful for the circumstances in our lives that have permitted my wife and I to enjoy what is commonly called "The American Dream". My only regret is that when I was younger and striving to reach that goal, I often failed to appreciate the fact that I was actually living that dream. So for those who read this, please take a moment to look around, count your blessings, and appreciate them."
