A Wonderful Life – Thanksgiving 2008

Thanksgiving in Georgia was picture perfect. Generations gathered together in one of Zebulon’s most gracious homes. What a delight, as the front door opens and other family members walk in. The annual reunion brings with it a mixture of memories, some good, some sad but all a “celebration of life“.

A treasure of personalities, warmth, humor but most of all …… love.

 

Be thankful …….. you just never know when…….

I usually write about real estate but as I was sitting here, thinking about my next post, it occurred to me that I have really had an amazing life for which I am very thankful.  Most people don’t have the opportunity to be born in another country like Australia, move to the US and then live in Florida, plus travel to 5 continents during the past 10 years. 

One of my favorite places is Africa, especially Kenya which I have visited several times.  Here’s a “what NOT to do in Africa.  I can remember being out in Masai Mara on safari, getting out of the jeep (really dumb thing to do) and coming face to face with rhino……  What was I thinking?  Obviously not thinking.  Sometimes you just get caught up in the moment, that’s all I can say.

Maybe the next post will be about Morocco, or Peru, Nicaragua, or Rome … who knows. 

Anyway, the bottom line is I have a great life, great family, oh we all have our moments, but I am loved beyond measure and there is such a contentment that comes with knowing that.

So be thankful, because you just never know what tomorrow will be like, let alone today.  Hope you know that you are loved too.
