Gracias

Everywhere, people are expressing gratitude. Most have tears in their eyes. Shouts-outs abound to family, friends, and the planet just for hanging in there one more year. I’m no different, except for the tears. None of that, people. None of that.

I am thankful:

--my husband smiles.

--my children wake me up with kisses.

--I transfer to a new school on Monday.

--Beth and Mike own a computer.




--Voters are waking up.

--Jim Davis is running for governor.

--Arguments make me smarter.

--My brother is moving to Kansas City. As in Missouri. As in Middle of Nowhere. Of course, now I have to hear about his Mad Skills That Pay the Bills. But that’s better than LA talk. Get along with that superior attitude.

--New and old friends are everywhere.

--Forgiveness isn’t a forgotten virtue.

--Neither am I.

--You are resistible.

--So am I.

--The year is almost over.

--Fantasies are okay. And fun.

--Becky doesn’t judge.

--Platelets could be lower.

--My parents live within shouting distance.

--Lawyers’ fees are deductible.

--My sister loves me.

--I can bend into a pretzel and/or put my ankles behind my ears. You have no idea how often that comes in handy.

What are you thankful for?
