I Am Thankful For

• A husband who loves me no matter what, and understands my need for good books, music, fabric, and yarns - and tells me to go have a little shopping spree from time to time
• A daughter who is working her ass off going to school full time, working full time, and still is able to run a little errand for her forgetful mother
• A warm comfortable home, with my own little sewing studio in it
• Animals (cats, dogs, horses) who make me smile, and give me loving for just a little kibble now and then
• An extended family who I know loves me, no matter how long it's been since we've seen each other
• Friends I can count on, who inspire me to be a better person
• Living in a country where I can have my own opinion, express it, and suffer no violence for it.
• Realizing I am living through, and contributing to, history
• A million other things that escape me at the moment, but fill my heart with warmth and light
