Today, I’m thankful for:
- legs that get me where I want to go,
- eyes that show me the beauty of an imperfect world,
- ears that allow me to hear laughter, music, and singing,
- health and more than enough to eat every day,
- hands that can type fast enough to capture most of what I have to say,
- the gift of a good education and a brain to use it,
- a job that runs out of hours before everything that needs to be done in a day,
- a warm home in a land that’s free,
- a loving family and fascinating friends,
- two Cairn Terrier rescues who think I walk on water,
- parents who are still together after nearly sixty years,
- brothers who taught me how to hold my own in a man’s world,
- a husband who supports most of my crazy ideas and is the voice of reason for the ones that should never make it past the drawing board,
- three grown children who taught me how to put others’ needs before my own and who have never stopped asking, why?
- a day once a year to pause and think about all the things that really do go right in my world.
