I am thankful for my eyes – they let me see the beautiful
world around me. A world filled with my
wife, with Declan, with Family and Friends that we love and cherish. A world filled with interesting and unique
things. With strange and amazing people
and animals. A world with Declan speed walking around
the house!
I am thankful for my hearing so I can...what?!...WHAT?? *pinky in ear* ah better - so I can share in much laughter,
stories and conversation. So I can hear ‘I
Love You!' For music I can dance to. For all of the baby cooing
and noises, for the sound of the wind, the rain, our friend’s and family’s
voices.
I am thankful for my nose and that wonderful baby smell! I love that Tara makes our house smell like
fall, winter, spring and summer with her essential oils and diffuser. Cinnamon, Citrus, Wild Orange and so much
more. I am grateful that our home always
smells like baked goods and cookies and other delicious things!
I am thankful for my taste buds. They let me experience the splendor of a kiss,
the succulence of sweets and the savory goodness of a delicious meal. For fresh Maple Syrup poured thick on a stack
of homemade Pancakes!
I am thankful for my sense of touch – That I may hold my son
and wife and embrace them with love and warmth. That I can feel their little hands in my big hands. That I can give hugs and show people how much I care about them. That I have doggies to pet, with white soft
fur. That Declan loves running through
the racks of clothes, arms outstretched, as much as I do. The way the shower hits, the softness of a
pillow, the feeling of clean sheets. I
am thankful for them all, for all the little things that let me take in the
world and experience it to the fullest.
If you agree - give me your best Halleluiah! in the comments. (feel free to use whoo-hoo, woot, BOO-YA. Whatever uncorks your enthusiasm - pop that sh#%!!)
