It's when I'm sick that I often think of how much I can be thankful for. Just a little cold that hit Jesse, then Zoe, now me. After all, I had the cash to buy Zicam at the store. What more do I need? So here's the short list. My best friend and partner, Jesse My now 4 year old child, bright and beautiful My dear family and friends A house to call home- complete with plumbing and electricity! Heat in the bitter cold winter and food to spare Last, but not least-technology that brings me closer to you reading this-that allows me to "phone home" whenever I please-that records my life in digital any time I push the button "For these gifts that I have received, may God make me truly thankful" Amen
