Friday favorites: gratitude galore

This Friday finds me full of gratitude, even more than usual.

I am grateful for the ability to travel–paid vacation from my employer, disposable income to spend on airfare and accommodations, the technology that makes it possible to travel 1,500 miles in four hours.

  1. You have gotten right to the point! I also am grateful for family and friends, for the beauty in the world, for retirement, for good health so far and for the choice of being able to travel.

  2. I’m grateful that I found YOU to make the friends we have and continue to make, and travel when and where we want to travel.

    Our “Brady Bunch Family” that brought four teenagers together (what the hell were we thinking ??) but brought us 10 of the greatest, smartest and sometimes off the wall comments Grandchildren in the world!

    And the Christmas present….Charlie Dog that so faithfully found You to be the softy and tend to his needy needs.

    Hawkes Landing, a place to enjoy quietness, a nice ribeye steak and of course binge watching TV shows that have come and gone. One that we have to watch each night as our last so we can say, “So long Dick”! (You need to be there to understand.)

    But every time I think of more things I’m grateful for, I always come back to You.
