At the urging of Lisa Alzo, here is my list of things I'm thankful for this Thanksgiving.
1. That I'm still here, despite my deteriorating health! And along with this, I'm thankful for top-notch doctors taking care of me!
2. A functioning brain that is being well-exercised.
3. A husband I would readily nominate for best in the world, for giving me the chance to be all I can be. He's been supportive of all my hare-brained schemes, and even is suggesting more! (That's because I keep him entertained.)
4. Terrific daughters, a fine son-in-law, and a silly grandson.
5. Great and caring professors at one of the smallest great universities in the country.
6. St. Augustine, Florida, and all the people of the Second Spanish Period, with whom I have become fascinated.
7. An ability with words which has permitted me to write two books which have been given solidly good reviews.
8. Having had the opportunity to serve my country (in the Coast Guard).
9. A cozy little house with a state forest for a back yard.
10. The flexibility to have been able to deal with the changes in direction my life has taken.
11. All y'all, as we say in the South.

Post a Comment
Relevant and intelligent comments are welcome. I have had to turn on moderation and "captcha" again because for the past several days, I have been getting nothing but irritating, inane spam. Sorry, but them's the berries.
I reserve the right to delete comments which are irrelevant, which try to sell a product or push an agenda, or which contain any of the words George Carlin couldn't say on TV. Please post your comments in a language I can read, those being English and Spanish. (I'll translate Spanish comments so others can read them, if necessary). I'm sorry, but I cannot read other languages, and since I do not know what might be being said, I will have to delete comments in languages which I cannot read.
