We Have So Much To Be Thankful For During The Holidays

I am out in Sacramento where I spend every Christmas with my two daughters and two grandchildren. I am an especially private person (just ask my family) and normally don’t share much private information about myself or my loved ones.

But in this new social marketing age one of my golas for 2012 is to open up a little bit and put myself on audio and videos, etc.

This year I am especially thankful here at Christmas because of an event that happened a week and half ago. Things happen so fast and this life can be short.

My youngest daughter (27) was leaving her boyfriends house in San Diego. Her truck was parked on the street. So as she was about to open the door on the drivers side a vehicle approaching fron the opposite direction swerved over and struck my daughter and her boyfriend.

Just inches saved their lives.

 There were still many injuries especially to her boyfriend who was hit in the back and his head slammed against her truck. He also suffered a broken leg in several places and spent about a week in the hospital and had to have a couple surgeries. My daughters leg was broken in a couple places and she had 4 hours worth of surgery and now has 4 or 5 screws in her ler leg.

The car was driven by a senior citizen who says he swerved to miss a vehicle that was stopped in the middle of the road. My daughter and her boyfriend  it turns out were very lucky. The vehicle hit them with a glancing blow before hitting her drivers side door. We are very aware of what would have happened had one or both of them been pinned against her truck and the mans vehicle.

So we have a lot to be thankful for even there were some broken bones and a head with several staples in it. They will both recover and be alright. I have a good friend who lost her son in a car accident last year just 5 days before Christmas. For her Christmas is over. It will never be the same.

Let’s all be thankful for what we have.

When I return home on the 26th I will be heading out of town to the beach for 3 days to get ready for 2012.

I plan on coming up with my goals both personal and business. I am going to make a few videos that I will share with you talking about my plans for 2012. Videos are something I find hard to do but I know one of my goals will be to put out a bunch of video and audio out there for my readers.

Hope you like a southern drawl because I got it bad.

After I get back from the beach I will leave for Orlando to watch South Carolina and Nebraska in the bowl game. I am a football nut. I watch high school, college and pro games.

Return from Orlando on the 3rd of January and get back to work.

Some of you know if you have read all of my posts I am still in the military. I work full time training National Guard units that are getting ready to deploy to Afghanistan and other places. I plan on retiring in a little over a year and becoming a full time internet marketer.(The hours I put in some time I feel like I am full time now.)

Starting an internet business while you still work is the best thing you can possibly do. You can learn while you keep your full time job.

To me I think it’s the best of both worlds. I love the military and as my career is winding down and I have found a new passion that I will be able to move right into full time when I retire with about 35 years or so of military service.

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and let’s have a great start to 2012.
