Happy Thanksgiving, loves. What are you thankful for?
Arriving unexpectedly at places in life for which you’ve been unknowingly prepared.
Gretchen
Sophia and Josiah
Gretchen with Sophia and Josiah
Finding financial balance
wifi
mmmm … coffee
choral music (falling back in love with it, writing new stuff)
In-laws that I respect and enjoy.
Software. Really. It’s just a miracle of innovation, that we build machines capable of executing complicated tasks based on sets of language instructions.
Role models
Spirited debate
…. more later, I’m sure.
God’s grace
Every chance I get to share my story
My children
Scott, George, and Doug
The freedom to praise my God
Did I mention grace?
Brian, Zane and Nate
My well-functioning body (specifically, my brain and arteries)
color
music
cheescake, pumpkin pie and dark chocolate
the perspective that the passage of time brings/allows
change
the smell of evergreens
indoor plumbing
where I live
cheeses, one and all
light (I know that sounds…something…but really, I am!)
friends who get it
how my childhood prepared me for life now
I’m grateful for clarity, and those still willing to deal with you while you’re in the fog.
You don’t appreciate it until it’s gone.
Like when they paved paradise… or something.
