For me, having my mother out of the nursing home and back in the community is, first and foremost, the best Holiday present I could have received. It's been a LONG year for her (and me), but as it rings to a close we are thankful for her return to (mostly) independent living.
Also, as a father, having my two sons gainfully employed has been a blessing. Mike was on pins and needles all summer and happy to be recalled by his School District for an even better position than last year. Rich was out of work for eight months after being screwed-over by his former employer. He finally found a job that fits his sensibilities and work ethic and is now working joyfully.
As for me, having a completely loving wife is something for which I am eternally grateful. Her support and encouragement brings me overwhelming joy DAILY. Realizing that I hold the key to changing my karma and the ability to overcome any obstacle that appears in my path is what spurs me on.
I am truly fortunate to be alive and able to make positive causes for the future. After all, "I like the Future. I'm in it!"
You are a rich man indeed.
