Happy Thanksgiving. It's been quite some time since I've blogged and boy have I missed it! So, today, I’m back to blogging again. I'd like to do my top ten list of things that I am thankful for. I think this is especially pertinent given the level of fear and concern about the economic state in this country...
1. Unconditional love.
2. The unexpected changes of direction in my life that has opened many new opportunities.
3. The opportunity to explore the second sixty years of my life that has given me a new career that I am passionate about; it's still work and really hard work, but the challenge and continual learning it provides gets me up in the morning.
4. Warm mud between my toes on a summer day that reminds me of my roots grow deep in the rich soil of Oregon.
5. The ability to move into a community and make myself at home with new surroundings and new friends.
6. Having the opportunity to share my knowledge and life experiences.
7. For my own health coach for helping me, at 62 years of age, to lose 80 pounds and showing me how to keep it off forever.
8. Family that I actually enjoy spending time with; and friends that I couldn't live without.
9. A country that has a democratic process that allows for change, significant and dramatic change, driven by the people and without violence and unrest.
10. For all the servicemen and women on duty around the world, guarding our freedom and for all the Veterans who served their country.
I hope that each of you to take a moment to think about what you are most thankful for - and I encourage you to share that with others.
