Obviously, Jak would have been the thing I am most grateful for. She is the light of my life and a sign of just how much God loves me (to have sent me such a wonderful, beautiful, smart, talented, sweet baby).

Well that didn't work
So my grateful challenge got the best of me and I forgot about it after day 2. Oops. Nonetheless, I am very grateful for everything I've been blessed with in my life, especially my family.

Day 2
What I'm grateful for - day 2:
1. My mom. She's the best. She loves me and stands by me even when it's probably hardest to do. She has shown me how to be a good mom and I can only hope Jak loves me half as much as I love my mom.
2. My Earrell (my grandpa). The greatest man I have ever, or will ever, know. He loved me more than life. We had a bond that I cannot explain. He died nearly 10 years ago and I still think about him every single day. I wish Jak could know him...but in some strange way, I think she does. I see her stare off into space sometimes and talk to the air. I like to think that she is talking to him.
3. My dogs. They get on my nerves. They are dirty and messy and stinky and spoiled, but I love them.

Gratefulness Challenge - Day 1
I recently attended a Marketing seminar where the speaker said she used her blog to do a 30 day gratefulness challenge. While I can't imagine that I can get on here and write for 30 consecutive days, I will challenge myself to write for 1 week - 3 things that I am grateful for. (and I'll save Jak for last) Here we go.
Day 1:
We'll start out easy
1. My wife. We met almost 6 years ago. Loving her comes easily. She loves me no matter what I look like; no matter how I act; no matter what I say. And after having been in a really bad relationship for 8 years, I realize how lucky I am to have found someone who loves me no matter what.
2. My house. I bought it when I was 24. Though I want out of it pretty badly, I am still happy to have had the means to buy it when I was so young (and stupid). haha
3. My job. I really like what I do. My 5 year anniversary there is this July. Prior to that I hated my job so much that I cried every day on my way to work. I was on antidepressants. And on the day that my legs buckled while I was getting into the elevator, I decided to quit without having a backup plan. That decision changed the course of my life for the better.
