THANKSGIVING DINNER FOR TWO

SIMILAR TO LAST YEAR SANDY AND I SHARED THANKSGIVING DINNER WITH JUST US TWO. LAST YEAR WE WERE ON THE "CASH FLOW" TIED UP IN ORANGE BEACH AND THIS YEAR WE WERE IN THE VILLAGES SITTING AT OUR OWN LITTLE TABLE FOR TWO IN OUR LITTLE COTTAGE.

DO WE MISS THE FAMILY ? DEFINITELY! ALTHOUGH WE ENJOYED OUR SOLITUDE IT JUST AIN'T THE SAME WITHOUT FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO EAT AND WATCH FOOTBALL TOGETHER.

I COULD GO ON WITH WHAT I AM GRATEFUL FOR THIS YEAR BUT IT NOT MY STYLE TO BE MELANCHOLY ALTHOUGH TWO THINGS STAND OUT ON MY LIST. 1) SANDY HAVING A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH AFTER HER SURGERY AND 2) ENJOYING MY MOM AND HER POSITIVE IMPACT SHE HAD ON ALL OF US AT HER REUNION

ONE BUSINESS PRATICE THAT I ALWAYS BELIEVED IN WAS IF YOU HAVE A GOAL YOU MUST WRITE IT DOWN AND SHARE IT WITH OTHERS. REDUCING A GOAL TO WRITING MAKES YOU COMMITIED AND OTHERS NOW KNOW YOU DID NOT JUST PULL THIS OJECTIVE OUT OF YOUR ASS IF AND WHEN YOU ACHIEVE IT. SO .... HERE IS MY GOAL ...

I PLAN TO LIVE TO BE 166 YEARS OLD .

WHY 166 ? WHY NOT? BUT I KNOW LIFE IS GREAT AND BEATS THE OPTION. (MORE ON THIS LATER)
