Day 10- My dad

Today I am thankful for all that my dad has done for me, my family, and for others.  He is the hardest working person I know.  Sometimes I think he works too much and too hard, but it's what makes him happy.  Building/contructing homes and furniture is his passion and a gift that few people have.  When I was a teenager/young adult, he took me along with him to job sites, and taught me everything from swinging a hammer, to tiling bathrooms, to staining hardwood floors.  Because of him, my family has a home that was built by his own two loving hands.  He's also taught me to work hard, no matter what.  And that if I want something done right (by my own standards), do it myself.  I could write a book of all of my dad's sayings, but I'll leave you with one of his Confusius-ism that he taught me a long time ago:

 "To cleanse skin, bathe.  To cleanse heart, forgive."

Thanks Dad!
