Simply Thankful

Two of my greatest blessings! With my mom
and dad at Nemo's on Fort Myers Beach

I don't know where to begin with all the things that have me thankful this holiday. Obviously, coming through the treatment relatively unscathed is right up there. But it's more than that. It's being thankful for all the people who have given me a diversity of support throughout my life. It's also being thankful for having a God who gently humbles me every day through the beauty of his creation.

I am blessed for all that I've received.
I am blessed for being able to give.
I am blessed.

"Simple Gifts" 

'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free

'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,

And when we find ourselves in the place just right,

'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.

When true simplicity is gain'd,

To bow and to bend we shan't be asham'd,

To turn, turn will be our delight,

Till by turning, turning we come 'round right.
