Gratitude

I’m Thankful For…

Typing on my laptop

Looking at old photos

Learning and growing

Dancing to rock music

Working until I’m tired

Watching a good movie

The act of remembering

Traveling to a new place

Worshipping God in song

Shannon family reunions

Shopping for a special gift

Our crocheted nativity set

Hiking in the great outdoors

When God answers a prayer

Our tree ornament collection

The sound of rain on the roof

Hugs from a man with autism

My childhood in Pennsylvania

When my writing surprises me

My son’s laugh and helpfulness

A warm blanket on a cold night

Painting with my favorite colors

Playing Scrabble with my sisters

Comfortable jeans and sneakers

A good book and time to read it

When my words touch someone

Chicken and homemade noodles

My husband’s deep voice singing

Climbing at Vedauwoo, Wyoming

My parents who are now in heaven

Belly laughs from a childlike woman

When a Bible verse jumps out at me

Colorado’s blue skies and mountains

 A hot cup of tea with cream and sugar

Phone, online and face-to-face friends

Kayaking in a bay or in a mountain lake

Playing online games with my daughter                                   

A gift that says I know and appreciate you

Being able to see, hear, taste, walk and talk
