So spill it, if you wish.
Mini dissertation below. Yep I'm one blessed crotchety bastard who has an abundance of blessings.
I've got 4 kids. 3 are outstandingly successful who make good choices and work their arses off. The youngest 2 are in or will be in college as soon as the youngest graduates this year. She has been working full time the last 4 years and taking all kind of college classes on line and thru the dual credit option in her AP classes. She is so far along she starts college as a junior in the fall. Two years younger than her sister, they will both graduate college at the same time. One from Texas Women's University and the other from UNT.
My oldest spent 8 years in the army, still in the reserves and working for the same department I started my career in. My youngest daughter will also be going the Law Enforcement route but has eyes on Federal employment. Not the ATF she says.
We thought we lost my oldest daughter to drugs and all the BS that goes with it. We told he we cant fix drug addicts and that they can only do that them selves and until that's the case she was on her own so she can hit bottom asap. No enabling from anyone.
Well, shes been out of her short stay in prison for a while now and although she absconded and relapsed a couple times the state gave her one more chance in an inpatient rehab. She lives on her own and has a job now, and is going on the longest stretch of sobriety and out of trouble since she started her downward sprial.
Hopefully she finds her way back.
Also celebrated my 20th year of marriage, 2nd one, and am presently enjoying the satisfaction of a good life and watching my kids become better than me. Well 3 out of 4 anyways but the curtain hasn't fallen on the 4th yet.
You're dammed right I'm thankful and for a great many things.
Oh yeah, one more thing, while I think Trump is a bumbling buffoon who is in no way a conservative, I so greatly enjoy watching him confound and frustrate the left. The left who has spent so many years calling people racist xenophobic etc, and getting their way by doing so, seem completely incapable of an independent original thought or a way to respond when faced with their own tactics in someone they cant control. Pure satisfying theater at its finest. I am greatly thankful for this. I love it. God forgive me I love it so.
I almost feel guilty. Well not really.
Happy Thanksgiving.
