Gratitude Gifts Today

- blue skies, green hills, majestic mountains, warm sunshine

- time with our son

- no bear - after seeing signs of a bear!

- snacks at the end of the trail



- sweet juicy peaches in abundance

- a warm bath

- pens with colored ink




- summer flowers lingering on

- a sweet and caring daughter-in-law who stayed alongside me, at the end of the line

- conversations during uninterrupted hours

- muscles that keep working

- birthdays, especially the first one




- fresh tomatoes from our plant

- a tomato plant that keeps giving

- quiet days of labour

- empty boxes

- inspiration to tell the stories and capture the memories

- bike rides

- telephone conversations - short ones and long ones
