this month is full, full, full
but a lot of the things are going to be very happy things
some paid days off {for ben and me}
some days off school {for madi and isaac}
a choir concert {that madi will sing in}
a rock concert {to be preformed by some schoolmates - our tickets are purchased!}
the first hockey games of the season {that isaac will play in and ben will coach}
ben's birthday {not his 43rd, as he keeps telling me - i don't know why he wants to add a year?}
thanksgiving {accounting for some of the days off and reminding us to be thankful always}
the 20th wedding anniversary of b+e {yes. that says 20. ben and i just keep looking at each other and commenting on this fact in amazement.}
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
at times our own light goes out
and is rekindled by a spark from another person.
each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude
of those who have lighted the flame within us.
–albert schweitzer

"you will be enriched in every way
so that you can be generous on every occasion;
your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God."
2 Corinthians 9:11
