Thankful to be alive.....

Today I am thankful to be alive in the 21st century and married to a white-collar job husband.
Nothing against blue-collar jobs.  I'm specifically thankful my husband isn't a coal miner or gold miner.

We are on family vacation this week.  Having a wonderful time together.  Yesterday we went 1,000 feet underground on a guided tour of a gold mine.   I was excited how educational the visit would be for the children.  Learn about the gold rush, early and present day mining methods, see underground rock, etc......

Know what they most picked up on?

If Dad and I had been early 1900 gold miners, we would both be about dead due to lung damage.

Yep.

Nothing like a family vacation to make the parents feel young and thankful to be alive!
