thanksgiving

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving day. We are not doing anything traditional. In fact we are going to do something very uncharacteristic for us. We are going to a lodge/cabin to play in the snow, get out of town, eat served food in a restaurant and just spend hopefully a nice time together. Will be tough because we aren't a typically cozy threesome though I know my daughter will love it and we will put out the extra effort. What I mean is the tension in our marriage is palpable and Marty's anxiety and general unhappiness weighs us all down. I'm sure I'm not the best or the easiest to get along with in all of this but it is my hope tomorrow that we can transcend that with God's mercy and intervention. We really need to spend this time and I pray it is really a good time. We will only be gone for 24 hours and I am so happy to have the next 4 days off. I want to work on my bible study, clean out my office, read and just relax. Here's to peace, calmness and family. I will do another entry listing the things I am grateful for.
