Today I’m taking the day off, sort of. My parents along with my brother, his wife step daughter, my brother n law and my wifes sister and nice and nephew, my mother in law and my brother n laws mother are all coming here for a ThanksGiving dinner at 3 PM. The weather is pretty sh*tty outside, and I don’t feel like going to MetoTown Mall again (for the 3rd time this week). I have enough Puma gear to last me for a year now.

The great thing about winter is that everyone is indoors, so the sales start getting better and better. Bad weather is my business partner, so in one way I look forward to miserable gray rainy days. Besides the financial part of it, it’s kind of nice to have all the 4 seasons. If it was hot and sunny every single day, hmm? I would probably get tired of it after awhile.

Today in Vancouver the weather is drizzly and that is just fine with me. Later on I think I’m going to pop in “Get Smart” in the dvd player and relax after late lunch/early dinner.

With Thanksgiving happening on Monday I thought it would be cool to blog about what I am grateful for. Personally I feel have lots to be grateful for, not only in the financial part of my life but more so in the family part. Family is more important than cash.

My Kids

I am father to two kids , one boy (6 months old) and one girl (2.5 years old) who I can’t say enough about. It’s hard to imagine life before them actually.  Seeing their smiling faces in the morning is truly something I am really thankful for. I am glad they are happy and healthy kids, and it’s pretty cool I have one of each.

My Wife

Hmm, I don’t think I could have asked for a perfect wife. She’s a beautiful lady, hardworking mother and a great cook who can make any recipe into an amazing dinner really, fast. I couldn’t have met and married a more amazing lady.

My Parents

Both of my parents are still married and they showed me all the life skills I have ever needed. You don’t realize how much you learn from your parents until you get older and have your own family.

Yeah this was a mushy blog post, but it’s always good to appreciate what ya have right?

With all the economic B.S in the news lately it’s nice to have a home that I feel secure in emotionally.
