My Thanks

This post has been submitted to Nneka's Season of Gratitude at the Balanced Life Center.

I am grateful that my parents encouraged reading, so I could explore far beyond my physical world, and learn that what is in front of my face isn't all there is.

I am grateful I live in a country where poverty is more a state of mind than a physical reality.

I am grateful for being able to spend my life learning to love and be loved.

I am grateful for having been able to help bring joy into some people's lives, and the joy they have brought to mine.

I am grateful for the freedom I have on the outside that allows me to find my own pathway to freedom on the inside.

I am grateful to be able to laugh. Life is as hard as we make it.

Precious moments are all we have in this world. I am grateful you have thought this site a worthwhile place to spend some of them.
