Thankful

I know I've done a lot of kvetching on this blog lately. It is good to vent spleen with a touch of humor, but it's also good to be still, humble, and give thanks. I am thankful for:

• Dharma and my Sangha
  
• Spaz Kitteh
• Being a writer
• My brother and his wife
• My nephew, his wife, and my 3 lieblings
• My girls: JEB and her little girl, Jenny, Rachel, Janet, Mel
  
• Reconnecting with Black Jack and Will this year
• Barry White
  
• My Rochester friends who have sustained me in difficult times
  
• My husband's sense of humor
• The $45 Trinitron that is allowing me to watch the Macy's Marketing Day Parade in stereo (I loves me a marching band)
• Lessons learned
• Being vegetarian
• Cranberries
  
• My unwritten life in L.A.
• My family in New York
  
• Ithaca College and R.I.T.
  
• The sun (without which life would not exist)
• TRON
  
• Dreaming
• Rod Serling
  
• Mom and Dad

The holiday season has traditionally been tough for me, but this year even more so. I expect I'll be returning to this list for comfort and adding to it in the coming month.
