Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I am pumped to take a couple of days to see family this holiday, but certainly missing those that I won’t be able to see. As we take a day to count our blessings, here are 38 things that we here at BT Basketball are thankful for each and every day, in no particular order (except the first few…)

I am thankful for…

1. God above

2. Family… Mom, Dad, Kevin, Michael, Lizzie

3. Extended family and bonds that hold us together

4. Health

5. Friends, both near and far

6. This incredible United States of America and all of it’s amazing freedoms

7. The military that protects those freedoms

8. The ability to choose daily

9.  The ability to dream.

10. The opportunity to not only to succeed, but to fail

11. The learning that comes with temporary failure (as long as you look for it)

12. The daily beauties of life, like this…  13. And this… 14. Falling down

15. Getting back up!!!

16. Warm sun on a cool day

17. The best brothers a guy could ask for… 18. That round orange ball that has given me the opportunity to pursue my passion of impacting today’s youth.
