1) I'm thankful that the fires close to the main roads that lead to my home town were mostly under control by the time I needed to use the roads yesterday. My delay in using those roads was far less than the over 2 hour detour would have been.
2) I'm thankful that my wife and I both can't imagine life without the other. It's a great blessing to have someone that you love with your whole being who loves you the same way.
3) I'm happy that we decided to stop watching "Dancing with the Stars" due to the show becoming overly focused on the sensual. We were uncomfortable watching it, and we certainly didn't want our kids to see it this way, so we have stopped recording it. Home should be a refuge and a place of comfort and safety, not a place where we feel uncomfortable with what is being presented. It has become that safe haven again.

1) I'm thankful that my company pays me mileage for the extra distance I now drive that is farther than my commute to their downtown office used to be.
2) I'm thankful to be able to listen to the scriptures on my iPod during my drive to work.
3) I'm thankful that my wife was willing to let me sleep so I could get to work on time while she stayed up with our youngest to help him deal with his breathing problems due to asthma and either a cold or allergies last night.

1) It makes me happy that I can watch kids movies with my children and, 9 times out of 10, enjoy the movie as much as they do.
2) It makes me happy to hear my young children spontaneously say "Let's Go Aggies!" in support of Utah State University, and for them to ask me every time I turn on a sporting event, "Are you watching the Aggies?"
3) I'm thankful for the chance that I have to give service, in part because it makes me feel good, and in part to show my gratitude for the wonderful service that has been rendered to my family over the past year.

1) I'm thankful for forgiveness. I was pretty hard on my oldest son last night when I was disciplining him. When I was more calm, I went in and apologized to him, and he freely forgave me.
2) I'm thankful for repentance. I am trying to repent of being overly harsh on my son, and I hope his is trying to repent of his reasons for me disciplining him. It's pretty standard hiding-the-truth-to-avoid-punishment stuff.
3) I'm thankful for love.

1) I'm thankful for date night and the chance to reconnect and catch up with my wonderful wife.
2) I'm thankful to have our taxes done. It's been a lot harder to do this year with everything we've had going on, and it's nice to be able to check it off the list.
3) I'm thankful that I don't feel overly tired so far today after going to bed around 2:00 am due to the taxes and getting up at 6:30 for work.

1) I'm thankful that my youngest son likes to go for "a little ride" with me whenever I'm leaving the house when he can't come. He gets into the car with me and we back out of the garage, and then pull back in. I then help him out of the car, and he is so excited that he got to ride with me. He'll say goodbye and run cheerfully into the house.
2) I'm thankful that my daughter will come crying and running down the stairs to try to catch me before I leave for work in the morning if she hasn't seen me yet. She just wants a hug and a kiss before I leave, and I'm happy that I forgot something and so headed back inside from the garage in order to hear her coming.
3) I'm thankful to have a wife who is my best friend.
