Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. As I always do, I make a list of what I am thankful for – so here is the list that I mean from the bottom of my heart:

•First and foremost – I am thankful that this year – I married my Julie on June 20th and she became Mrs. Paul Wein – and has been the best wife that a husband could ever ask for.
•I am thankful that I was asked to be a member of a team for a very special Army project – one that I worked very hard on and has earned me lots of praise.
•I am very thankful that we moved into a much cheaper apartment – and got away from the Land Lord from, Hell.
•I am so happy that Beavis turned eight and is healthy, happy – and still as spoiled rotten as ever – which, to me – means he is going to probably outlive Julie and I.
•I am thankful that Ring Fever now has its own radio show on http://www.blogtalkradio.com/ringfever – and that now, YOU can call in and enjoy the show every Friday night from 6-7p.m. EST at 347-989-1556.
•I am thankful that this year – on the anniversary of the day that the first A Penny For My Thoughts was written – I reached the milestone of 1,000 columns, since March 12, 1997 – and have continued to excel toward the milestone of 2,000.
•I am thankful that I have found a lot of old friends this year – and have once again reconnected with my past.
•And I am thankful that Julie and I saw Stephen Lynch in concert – and had an amazing time.

I am very grateful that I have so much to be thankful for, especially since the majority of it has to do with Julie. I know that next year my column will be just as great because Julie has made my life better than it’s ever been – and I can’t thank her enough.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody! Enjoy your life as much as I’ll enjoy mine.
