My Wife and Family
A Beautiful Home
The ability to work at what I love
The skillset that I have learned to enable me to do anything
My work ethic and those of my Boys......It is an endless list
My gratitude runs deep....
Every day I am grateful for something....We all should be.
A weeks worth of cleaning and organizing in 6 hours before the Princess arrives home....No problem!

Roger that - great thing to be grateful for Deborah. I still hear that there has been a loss of life due to the storm (last I heard it was about 5 individuals), so sad and I pray that no more are discovered. You have a wonderful Saturday Sgt Deborah Cornatzer and let's continue to pray for those that may still be in danger or harms way.
