Thank you Maddi… …for the thoughtful gift. You knew how much I liked this cactus, and you made sure I got it. Not to mention the custom-painted pot. Thank you Brooks… …for the most wonderful Cascadia trail runners. While you won’t actually catch me running on many unpaved trails, these shoes are perfect for hiking…lighter…
Thank you Mother Nature… …for the beautiful flowers, both up north… …and down south in the desert. Thank you Becky and Randy… …for the beautiful handmade quilt.

It’s been a while since I’ve written a Thank You Notes post. It’s not that I haven’t had much to be grateful for…more that I’ve been caught up in other things. But now I’m back, and I’ll try to condense my little bits of gratitude from the past several months into one post. I created…

Thank you Ruth’s Diner… …for this delicious salmon salad. Isn’t it wonderful when you find something that tastes good AND packs in the nutrition? And thank you, of course, for the strawberry mojito! The strawberries make this one nutritious as well, right? Thank you Mother Nature… …for the beautiful view of the sunrise from my…
In this moment, I am full of gratitude… Gratitude for this computer I am typing on…what a marvel. It’s amazing to my unscientific mind that someone figured this out…created a computer when never there was one before. I am grateful for my fingers, the dexterity to move from key to key with relative ease. Grateful…
Thank you Cindy and Heidi… …for the special deliveries. I hope no one’s keeping track, because I’m pretty sure I’m way behind on the thoughtful gestures. I promise to do better. I couldn’t be more blessed to have you for sisters…and to have both of you living so close. Now if we could just get…
