I love Thanksgiving. I love preparing the food all day and enjoying it while sitting around a table with some of the people I love most. And there is one holiday tradition that I have grown to adore. As we sit down to eat, we share one thing we feel grateful for this year.

Thanksgiving is almost here. Blink and it will be Christmas and then 2024. But for now, I want to pause and think about what I am thankful for. I can’t list everything. An exhaustive list would be exhausting for most people to read. Here’s a start. I’m thankful for my family.

If you want to get a teenager’s attention, ask him if he would like to become a millionaire by the time he’s 65. Tell him it will take a relatively minimal investment and absolutely no effort after he reaches the age of 21.

Here it is mid-November. Are you panicking yet? Is your Christmas shopping started? Or do you wait until after Thanksgiving? I’ve had a little more time recently, so I’ve been trying to get caught up on some things.

I don’t remember much about my recent 64-block ambulance ride from my house to an urban hospital, but I was told after the fact that it was a matter of a few minutes to keep my body from going into septic shock.

Last week, I heard the story of a veteran trying to use his GI benefits and attend school. After retiring from service, this veteran, who requires the use of a service dog, decided to enroll at a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) school.

Making memories for a new generation

Hello friends! We are just a few short weeks away from Thanksgiving and it got me to thinking about some holidays from my childhood. When I was a kid my grandparents lived just a few towns away in northwest Indiana. We saw them all the time.
