Gratitude and Thanks

I live in a constant state of appreciation. For so many people and things. 

For a family that’s smart, funny, thoughtful, loving, supportive...and very good looking. 

For friends from so many chapters of life, who are also all of the above. 

For the very beautiful home and always interesting life the Muse and I have built together over the last 35-years-this-week.

For the ability to laugh with abandon.

For the natural inclination to hug with true affection.

For the desire to learn.

For having empathy.

For the sunsets over the bay.

For appreciating talents of all kinds.

For recognizing beauty of all kinds.

For the gift of being curious about practically everything.

For good health.

It’s good, I think, to stop and say thank you. Not just this week and not just over turkey. 

But every day. And not just say it. Show it.        

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”

– John F. Kennedy
