THANKFULNESS

There is an abundance of reasons to be grateful this year . . . full time employment, a great family, a talented Mrs. LOST, a home, a beautiful state, despite its troubles, health (mostly, time to get off that couch more, though), sanity (okay, let's not push it, right?), a sense of humor, the lifting of a great burden, and the prospect of a better near and intermediate future, the time to spend recharging batteries in a college town (twice this Fall, once courtesy of each kid), the opportunity to reconnect with an energetic, spirited Faith. All of this, and so much more. Thank You, God, for the good fortune. May all be so blessed.
