11-24

This has been a pretty good day. I spent the first six hours flat on my stomach, but it felt good. My house was warm and the game shows were particularly funny. I got to take my eye patch off, and I was able to finish my visitng teaching and laugh and cry with women who have become my friends. The great thing is, that these are not even the five things I am thankful for.
In case I haven't mentioned it, I am grateful for my family. Family life these days can be so difficult, and yet nothing is so rewarding. I love my family, my parents, my grandparents, brothers and sisters, Mark, my kids and my sweet grandbabies. I am grateful for the challnges my family faces because while I hate the challenge, I love the blessings that come from standing up to them.
I am glad I can wear my glasses today and see out of my good eye, I am also grateful that scientists can fashion a lens that improves my vision from a simple piece of glass.
I am thankful that I can stay close to people through the miracle and mystery of technology. I just don't get it, but I love it.
On a similar note, I am grateful for online shopping. Whoever invented that was a genius!
I am thankful for the diversity of my ring of friends. I get so much from all of you and the many who haven't caught the vision of blogging.
I am grateful to whoever brought dinner over. Thanks.
Loves,
Kathy
