The leader of our church, Russell M Nelson, shared a really cool video where he talked about gratitude and how it can be a powerful force to bring joy into our lives. In this crazy year, we could all use a little more of that. He encouraged everyone to express their gratitude on social media with a hashtag #givethanks. I don’t really engage in social media, but this blog is sort of my personal social media and it’s always fun to look back on it over the years, so I figured I’d accept his challenge here.
When I reflect on all I’m grateful for, the one thing that immediately comes to mind is my amazing wife. She’s been my companion and best friend for almost 25 years now.
I’m pretty sure she’s the only woman who could put up with me for that long. She’s smart and gorgeous and funny.
She’s wise and thoughtful and patient.
She loves being outdoors almost as much as I do. And she’s a total stud.
Yep, in the immortal words of John McLane, “She’s the best thing that ever happened to a bum like me.”
