So instead, I'm going on a "gratitude binge." I'm going to thank God for the following:
- I have my health, as does my family
- I didn't run out of gas before the little 2-pump station in Melrose, MT
- We have lots of friends and family members who are praying for us, and checking in on us
- We've logged over 1,100 miles of safe driving
- I (Ric) have a little family who loves me, values me highly, and follows me as I follow Christ
- I had a loaded firearm in my truck cab today, and it was legal and normal
- Last night's Ben & Jerry's Mint Chocolate Cookie was out of this world!
- Cassie is talking up a storm
- Sophia is swimming on her own, no floaties!
- The kids are enjoying Montana as much as we parents do. I can see their dreams inflating often, and we talk about them regularly
