Here I sit, reading your blog and saying, "I'm grateful for you." It's my spontaneous response every time I realize that it's Friday.

"I thank my God upon every remembrance of you . . . because I have you in my heart."

I add my agreement to all you wrote, my friend.

I'm grateful for closure even though it breaks my heart.

I'm grateful for the treat of sharing choir practice with you last night.

I'm grateful for whatever the L-rd has in store in the future.

I'm grateful for Larry and his continued support. He's had a hard road watching us go through it all.

I'm grateful for my wonderful, clean-of-spirit friends and I'm grateful that I'm at a place in life where I can sit each morning, looking outside, and thank G-d for everything he brings to my mind. I'm grateful that I woke up twice last night thanking G-d for things he was bringing to my mind, even in the dark of night. I'm grateful that He is the Dayan HaEmet, and not me. I'm grateful for my friend Barb who graciously brings me back on the right path when my own mouth tends to stray. I'm grateful for the Friday night worship at Temple Beth El where we stand in reverence to sing to the Eternal One, blessed be He, where the only one judging me is Him.
