Thanksgiving

When it comes to getting all mushy about holidays, I'm certainly no amateur. At least internally. Sure, I get emotional inside when watching holiday movies, and I really get wound up when seeing the expressions on my kid's faces on Christmas morning.

But express it in writing? No way. I just don't have it in me to wax poetic about being thankful for all the things in my life such as my two beautiful daughters, who delight me every day with their curiousity, energy, and zest for living, and have an amazing ability for taking away the day's pain and stress with just a hug.

And I certainly don't have the writing ability to express how the beautiful TB makes my life complete in every way, and how my affection for her has grown daily through thick and thin, and how proud and thankful I am to go on life's journey hand in hand with her.

And I could never be able to express how much I appreciate living in the best country on the planet along with all the opportunity it's given me - the twenty years I served in the Air Force is poor repayment indeed.

I also wish there were some way for my words to convey how thankful I am to all of you, my new friends in the blogosphere, both readers and fellow bloggers; whether we agree or not, I value you all.

And last but not least, I simply haven't the words to say how proud and thankful I am for our uniformed men and women who have sacrificed and continue to sacrifice so that we can all remain free.

Nope, there's no way I can do it. So I won't. Instead, I charge you with going to all the other blogs who do have words befitting of this day. When you see one that's especially well-written and emotes the requisite amount of sentimentality, please pause and say, "LB would have said that - if he could".

Happy Thanksgiving To You All!

from LB and the entire B family.
