I am thankful...

Quite simply, I live the life...

I am thankful.

Really.

I couldn't help but think as my I coached through puddles that thank you God because I learned so much about life while I played on this exact field during high school.

I couldn't help but think thank you God for allowing me to be one to assess these students on 22 wacko computers. You have put me here for a reason. Let's practice patience and set an example for these kiddos.

I couldn't help but think thanks that I get to go to a gym, have a blast there, and warm up my soul for the day well dripping in sweat. And, love the people I do it with!

I couldn't help but think here's to a family that meets me at 7:15 just to check something out.

I couldn't help but think darn I'm thankful for hands and breaking my ankle so that I had to stay in typing for an extra nine weeks.

I couldn't help but think I am thankful that I have the best aunt who shows up on a Monday morning with a all-around lunch and a diet coke or a mom who can whip up a grilled cheese in a hot second.

I couldn't help but think I am thankful that my parents come to watch me coach. How cool is that?

I am thankful for electricity and music.

I am thankful for the child who just stepped on my foot for the 100th time, but finally has learned to apologize.

Moral of the Story: We live the life...really we do. I lift it up.
