We have to be reminded about the blessings that daily have been loaded upon us. That's when it is good to give thanks.
While I was drafting this list, I was reminded of so many other things I am grateful for that I did not list. They aren't on the list only because they would make the list so long that it wouldn't be feasible for a blog post, but for a book! So here is my small sampling:
- people who love me and accept me and my flaws
- for running hot water
- a God who keeps working with me and has never given up
- my husband of 42 years, who is still enamored with me, and tells me so
- the fact that I can still get out of bed in the morning
- that I can actually walk a half mile in one whack! (there was a time that I thought I wouldn’t be able to again)
- that our children love us
- all of the help I have received with my writing, my art, and my music
- the friendship of others, freely given
I could go on, of course, who couldn't?
