Be Thankful

This year, I am thankful for many things. My wife, who puts up with me maintaining this blog, my kids for giving me "quiet time", my parents for believing in me and my many friends and associates who give me direction and ideas. But most of all, I am thankful for my health. Although I suffered a broken leg and a bad ankle sprain this fall which has rendered me unable to work, my spirit remains intact and my overall situation could be much worse. If you are facing a similar situation, remember, we should keep our heads held high and know things will get better. As my mother always says, everything seems to work out eventually.

I sincerely hope that you have a nice holiday, and please try to keep local merchants and locally owned restaurants in your plans if you decide to do any shopping this weekend. I'll be back here on Friday with more on the FOP/Mayor budget stalemate and other local issues affecting Southwest Louisville. Until then, be careful and be thankful.
