Gratitude...

for...
Rosie, she continues to shine her light making clear my path and lighting up my days...plus the way she says "No Way" and kisses me on the forehead makes me melt...

Harlen, he is just the best husband I could have and every day shows more that the chance I took on him was the best gamble I could make...

family, I have a fabulous one...blessed that I like the in-laws as well. They sustain me, they pick me up, they remind me what I am worth, may I be as much to Rosie as those who have gone before me have been to me.

my faith community, they give me the place to touch base, rejuvinate and have the strength to use my intellect and spirit to make a difference in the world. Also giving me a language to dispute that traditional "values" mean moral values and spirituality and own the realm...

Mother Earth and the fact that she has put up with our BS for so long while still providing us with sustenance and beauty and not enough thanks.

My friends...it is amazing to be so loved and supported by people who were not born with the burden of having to.

My job...it is a good one, it will never make me rich, but it has enriched me. I make enough to feed, clothe and shelter my family. I get good and affordable health coverage and I have a company who actually cares about me and my needs as part of the business equation.

People...they are a neverending source of inspiration and just out right awe on the courage audacity that people move forward in spirit.

my health...I hope to treasure it more by caring for it now that I can no longer say oh that is something to worry about when I am old and in my 30's!
