Be Thankful

Thanksgiving. Pause and Be Thankful. This year I am specifically thankful for:

• family - through easy and tough times, we are making it
  
• a skilled surgeon
  
• friends who truly care - and pick up the phone to prove it
• friends who truly care - and added my daughter to the prayer list
  
• restaurant and food service professionals who are working today so that I don't have to cook
• living in a country that supports the democratic process - warts and all
• new friends found through Knit 'n Stitch in Riverside
  
• pets who love unconditionally
