i'm thankful for:

• Dorothy (the love of my life)
• My children and grand children (they all bring lots of joy to my life)
• Health (my quality of life depends on this)
• Retirement (I'm still adjusting, I dream about work, but it's great)
• My blog and email friends (I feel like we've always known each other)
• Living in the country where the air I breathe is clean and crisp.
• Not having to commute to work and be exposed to the weather this winter
• Books (some of them are life changers)
• The ability to express myself through poetry and painting.
• Travel opportunities (I get so tired on the road, but upon arriving home I'm ready to go again.
