Enjoying Life

Today has been a good day. Although I am sick (can't breath without using my mouth), my team is 0-2, and Avery woke up at 5:45, today is still a good day. Why?

Because I am a Christian. I am able to talk about, worship, and pray to a God who has been through much worse.



Because I am a husband. I have a wife that loves me, takes care of me, and has fun with me. And enjoys much of the same things that I do (nice catch baby).

Because I am a father. I have a little girl that, as of this moment, loves me, plays with me, and kisses me. As noted in the picture she also helps me gameplan for football.

Because I am an American. I have the freedoms to worship my God, to live without fear.

Because I am a teacher. I get paid to influence kids everyday.


Because I am a coach. I do something I love and call it a "job".

So, even though I can't breath, am tired, still am slightly depressed about losing, today is a good day...

I love you so much; it's so good to hear how you feel.

(But I really don't like that picture you chose for me.) :)

Great thoughts! We are all truly blessed. I am thankful for these moments that allow us time to soak up each and every good thing in life. Hope that you are feeling better soon!

Excellent thoughts. Since you have obviously spent time processing these thoughts about what really matters you would probably be impressed and motivated by the book "As a Man Thinketh" by James Allen. It is a powerful little book. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
