I am Grateful!

Sometimes I just stop & think (& sometimes write) of the wonderful gifts in my life: my son, my life, the ability to read & write, family, friends, food, a bed, a garden, weather-appropriate clothing - heck, just having clothes! - sunsets, rain, sunshine, chickens, walnuts...there are at least a billion more. Anytime I find myself whining or complaining, a good dose of gratitude goes a long way to snap me out of self-ptiy and into joy!
