Well, I have much for which to feel grateful, and in light of recent tragic events, it seems even more than I can imagine.
We all measure our accomplishments and gratitude in different ways. For me this year it will be in what I have managed to keep throughout 2004:
*My sanity
*My children healthy and inspired
*My lovely, spirited, brilliant friends
*My marriage alive and sparkling-well
*My sense of humor
*My joy for life
*My insatiable need to write and read well-fed
*Full control of my bladder
Happy Newest Year All
