Happy Thanksgiving... No Matter Where in the World You Are

In the mid '70s when I moved to the USA I was introduced to Thanksgiving.  Although it took me years to like yams smoothered with melted marshmellows I quickly embraced taking time out to give thanks.

Now as I pause I'm so grateful for:
  • A God in Heaven (helps me make sense of things when nothing makes sense at all.)
  • The beauties of creation (look at that bird and the giraffe she's de-bugging!)
  • Fresh air to breathe (spent time in Manilla, Philippines where I nearly died.)
  • A loyal companion (been together over 35 years... and counting.)
  • Three amazing kids (that's really six now... those they love have become "mine" too.)
  • Five ever-changing and growing grandkids (love being Lola... enjoy 'em, then give 'em back.)
  • The dedicated wildlife conservationists (many I'm privileged to call friends.)
  • The many who in small and big ways are helping Nikela emerge (I'll forget someone if I start naming.)
The list goes on... and my heart keeps expanding with gratitude.
God bless and thank you for your part in making this world a better place for all.
