When I look at that which I’ve always wanted,

but could never have;

I realize that it would all mean nothing,

without that which I already have.

— Eric Winger

On this day of Thanksgiving,

Thank you to my wife Melissa, my son Zachary, my daughter Tessa, my daughter Hayle, my parents, Lorraine and Ivan, my mother-in-law Zona, my extended family, my many, many friends from work, school, volunteering, Toastmasters, Facebook, blogging, Oregon, Iowa, across the ocean, lives past and lives future. 

I love and treasure you all. 

Yesterday’s gift of time … Just thankful that the kids and I made time to fly a kite and play a long game. Together.
