- I’m thankful for last night’s sleep, uninterrupted save for a few wild dreams.
- I’m grateful that I can walk virtually everywhere I need to go in the small town where I live. I walk miles every day to and from work, friends’ and neighbors’ homes, restaurants, the natural-foods co-op, the farmers’ market, coffeehouses, the library, and several theaters. My legs are strong, and I have a good back — and an excellent chiropractor when it’s not so good. (I can walk to his office, too.)
- I have sensitive hearing, and for that, I bow down in sincerest gratitude. When I was a child, I used to imagine what it would be like to go deaf or blind. I prayed that if I got to choose, I’d keep my hearing. Of course, having any working senses — being alive at all — is a gift.
