As I spend this morning cooking and baking to take food to my mother, I’m thankful for so many things. In particular, my mom! She is 92, and even though she has a few challenges, she is positive and grateful and still so much fun! I also have a kind, generous, and fun husband, and a wonderful family. Fortunate indeed!

As I sit in my comfortable home, with the clothes and food and heat that I need, I think of all those living in poverty and in fear. We must all do what we can to help them.

March. Send money. Be kind.

I am also fortunate to be home today, and not working. I have worked my share of holidays through the years and I am grateful to those who had to get up to work today.

I am fulfilled by the earth around me. We MUST protect her! May we all get outside for a bit and appreciate the natural world.

And I am grateful for the privelege of blogging and for meeting so many of you.

I Am a Fortunate One.
