I am very thankful for being with my husband. For his commitment to me and the kids, and for never forgetting to plan fun things.

Grateful to just be.....

First there was a snowstorm, then it sleeted for a few hours. At night, the snow started falling again and it snowed all night it seems. This morning, the fir and pine tree's branches are heavy with damp snow and some are breaking down on sidewalks. I’m amazed at the resilience of trees. edited 19:28, 11 Dec 2014

I am grateful for the friendship of my barber "Keith" - whom I've seen once every eight weeks for almost forty years - at the American Heritage Barber Shop in Chillicothe, Ohio. Roughly six times a year, we pick up the threads of our decades-old narratives - then talk continuously until he's finished trying to make me look respectable. Today, Keith mostly listened while I talked about how cool it is to have a Second Life (or, in my case, three of them.) edited 20:53, 11 Dec 2014

You all bring so much inspiration into my life. I carry you around with me all day long. Thank you. :)

Me too:)

Yes, there may be one or two things that I may not be grateful for, that (only) leaves everything else, including all of you, that I am still grateful for.
