11.20 thankful for...

today i'm thankful that when my family went to sleep last night, my biggest concern was what i was going to wear to work today and whether or not the little one was going to sneak into my room early in the morning, not whether or not i was going to be woken up by air raid sirens or worse, a rocket in my window. i'll never forget that sense of dread and i pray for those who are living that reality. if you've never slept in a combat zone, be grateful.
