Do you ever have those moments or days that make you so thankful for where you live? It seems like this past week has been full of those days for me. Thankful for the natural beauty here, the people and the environment in which I live.

I live out in Everson and our office is in Fairhaven, so I have a bit of a commute everday, around 35 minutes to be exact. Lately I have been switching up my route to see which is the most time effective. I have been taking what I call the “back roads” instead of the main artirials such as the Guide Meridian and the Hannegan Rd and instead opting for the Noon Rd, or Laurel Rd. Each morning while heading into work I pass several people walking their dogs, or retriving the morning paper, each of them always smiles and waves as I pass, something you don’t see everywhere… It’s amazing how something as simple as a smile and a wave can make a day better.

This past weekend I went out and camped along the banks of the Nooksack River out in Acme at the river property of some dairy farmer friends of ours. I woke up, stepped outside and was great by this view of the Twin Sisters and the foothills of Mt. Baker

A couple Saturday’s ago, I was out in Everson enjoying a nice hot day when my Father called and invited me out on his boat with him. Within 30 minutes I went from the farm fields, cows and dairy farms of Everson to the waters of Bellingham Bay where I was greated with a the spectacular views of the San Juan Islands, a pod of whales and dozens of Eagles. What other place can you live where you can go from one extreme to the other in less than a half hours time?

Those of just a few of my “Thankful Moments”… If you have some to share feel free to comment!
