For friends and kindred far and near,
For safety from the things we fear,
For all that’s true, and all sincere,
We render thanks.
For all the crops and bounty here,
For air so fresh and water clear,
For passage through another year,
We render thanks.
–Aaron Walden
Very nice. Thanks Walden.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
I am thankful for so many things. Topping the list are a very chubby, healthy, happy, beautiful baby daughter (her first few days in this world did not lead me to take this for granted), a job I am happy to go to (and young students who think I actually am the person I aspire to be), and a lovely wife who knows exactly who I am, and loves me anyway. 
Hope everyone is having a lovely day. For all its problems, it is such a beautiful world we live in.

I’m appreciating my kids.
