What am I grateful for?
Today was another beautiful day in SoCal. It began waking up next to my wife Patty and son Ashby warm in bed. Ashby got up early as usual and energetically ran out to the living room. Patty got up and made sure he was happy and started cleaning the kitchen. I lay in bed eyes closed, giving my daily thanks for yesterday, today, the past and the future. Another beautiful day was about to begin! Ashby came calling "Dada, get up!" I got up slowly and played with him. He was a good boy after a little terrible three's tantrum... I helped Mama fill the dishwasher and the kitchen was clean! Patty had a sore throat and wanted some garlic bulbs.
I hoped on my red beach cruiser and biked down to the beach. It was a cold morning with gray skies for SoCal. The ocean was glassy and high tide kept the shore break alive. The bike down the PCH was almost empty, rare for a morning in Carlsbad. Only a couple die hard surfers sat out at Terramar, the rains had come down hard the day before and the ocean was full of run off. I biked down Tamarack to the Coastal Rail Trail, biked past a couple of bikers and made it to French Pastry Shop.
Bought the usual almond croissant and black berry tart and proceeded to Albertsons for the garlic. Read Consumer Reports about the new Mini and that the hew phosphate free detergent left spots on dishes. Our Thanksgiving renters had said the dishwasher was not working correctly. I purchased the All in 1 Cascade detergent instead of a new dishwasher! Got home and Patty had breakfast ready as always...We had our daily meal together at the nice teak table overlooking our Casa del Sol tropical back yard with the dolphin fountain.
Another day to be grateful for my family! Patty, Ashby and me have been enJoying this holiday time a lot!!! Between his two birthday parties, Thanksgiving and now leading up to Christmas we have had a great couple of weeks. Our health is good-great, Ashby had a mild virus which worried us for 2-3 days but fortunately he is better and full of energy as usual. Patty is taking care of us and her self as much as possible. I am balancing taking care of my aches and pains with time. We are looking forward to a healthy and prosperous 2012!
Danke! Gracias! Thank you!
