Simple. Impartial. Me.

Contrary to popular belief, staying in bed all day is not as much fun as it sounds. In fact, the allure wears off around hour 3. Sick as a dog, unable to breathe and run down as all heck, I am thankful for my family taking care of me and letting me rest.

I had the opportunity to go to a LEGO Club event this morning with my son and his friend (Thanks for inviting us, Todd!). While the boys were building their Ninjago stuff, I overheard one of the LEGO store employees mention that Lord of the Rings will be coming this summer. Um…geek heaven! ^_^

Today, I am thankful that my street was plowed. While I know that it was really difficult for the trucks to keep up with the snowfall in Chicago today,  I remember what it was like last February and I’m grateful to have been able to still leave my home to  go on a takeout run. Fortunately, the snow was pretty light and after the plow blocked off my driveway, I was able to clear it within a few minutes. Heck, I even pitched in and helped a neighbor get his driveway cleared!

Truth be told, I probably wouldn’t have even gotten out of bed today were it not for a greater purpose of service to others. It should be known that placing others before oneself can be a great motivation tool! I am thankful to be of service to the world.
