Thanksgiving Day, 2008. So much to be thankful for. My list (certainly not a comprehensive one, for sure) is a cliche of everyone else's list. But that doesn't make it any the less real or sincere. Family, friends, health, finances, church body, my salvation, my home, where I live, the strength in my body, I can see when I open my eyes, and walk when I put my feet on the floor, and the list goes on.

So after preparing some food to take to a friend's today, we set out in the car. We didn't exactly go through the woods, but we did go over the river, and it wasn't "grandma's house" we wound up at, but a good friend's.

It was a good day.
