I'm thankful when learning to read turns a corner and the reader first picks up a book because he wants to read it. May it continue!

I'm thankful the Lord has given me friends, true friends, near and far who have taken the time to know me -- and still love me. I don't know what they say to the Lord when they pray for me, but that's probably best. I have no doubt He answers their prayers.

So grateful for my health. I'm not the "picture of" it, but I'm thankful for it.

I'm thankful that I feel safe on so many levels.

I'm thankful for the trio of azaleas, wisteria, and bridal wreath -- the deep pinks, the lavenders, and the whites that love to bloom beside one another for a brief but beautiful welcome of spring.

And more...

I'm grateful for my car so I can get in and drive when I need to... and for just the right music.

I'm grateful for thrift stores to poke around in - and for Sunny's new scratching post!

I'm grateful that the L-rd has rescued me from so very much...

I'm grateful that in spite of rain and wind and snow, the buds are beginning to reveal their blossoms, the daffodils are blooming, and the birds are many and active.

I'm grateful for technology that allows us to connect with one another even though we may be miles apart.

I'm grateful for doctors and nurses that are competent and capable. They help us heal.

I'm grateful for friends who share a common desire to serve the Creator of the Universe.

For cousins who feel comfortable enough with us to make last minute plans.

For liturgy that resonates with my soul.
