Fellow slicer, Lanny Ball, inspired me to turn my “More”post yesterday into thoughts of gratitude. I do have much that I am grateful to have received.
Life and love, too important to take for granted. How lucky I am to rise every morning knowing I am sweetly loved and return that love willingly. How lucky I am to be living in this country at this time. Yes, there are problems, but I enjoy freedom and opportunities not found in so much of the world. I have food and shelter and no wars in my neighborhood. How lucky I am to have family and friends always ready to talk, play and listen with me. How lucky I am to have a career and colleagues that support and challenge me to do my best. I am grateful for this March SOL venue, for my fellow writers, their inspiration and fellowship.
This process, writing and reading writing everyday, is really fulfilling.

Wow, I am humbled by the shout-out! Such a lovely post, to recognize those things we all sometimes take for granted. To be be “sweetly loved” and have colleagues that support you at work–all great stuff!

I love this phrase, repeated throughout: “How lucky I am…” I might need to steal that idea. Lovely post.
