Yes, Jerry, thank you.
I try to remind my kids to have an "attitude of gratitude"-
Yesterday I was overcome with the realization that we're so lucky (privileged, really) to have warm cars that speed us to our destination at this time of year- our predecessors in NH looked at winter as 6 months of just plain being cold.
Every day I am astounded at the quantity and variety of the food we have available to eat. And I'm a single mom, with two teenagers, and I am able to keep them fed! Wow!
I haven't had a drink in one year and 6 weeks.
I'm sitting here at this magic box, talking to dozens of folks all over the world! Amazing!!
My mom's knee surgery was yesterday (and was successful!)- I have a boss who is giving me the day off to be with her. And half of Friday to be with my SO for his surgery.
I have two good legs, a healthy body, a voice that somehow manages to inspire others to sing with me, lots of opportunities to do that, and music in my life.
And on and on and on...
