Today, a double post (again!). For day 18, I am thankful for Cub Scouts.
I realize that's a sensitive issue. But my son was so excited for the idea of becoming a scout, and it has helped him in ways I didn't foresee. He is at least a little more organized, he is more obedient, and he is quite serious about the Cub Scout Promise.
On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to my God and my country, to help other people, and to obey the Law of the Pack.
I know that any time he starts getting out of control, or not listening, I can tell him to remember the Law of the Pack. And he will get himself together.
(Also, nothing reminds me how well-behaved he really is like going to a den meeting. HOLY COW.)
For day 19, I am thankful for a law. Specifically, I live in Pennsylvania, and Pennsylvania requires annual vehicle inspections. And as much as I haaaate paying for inspections (and anything that turns up during said inspections), I am grateful that, say, problems with my brakes get found BEFORE I careen into the back of another vehicle at the bottom of a steep hill. And since steep hills are plentiful around here...
Maybe day 19 should have been gratitude for having a good mechanic.
