Among today’s blessings… a phone conversation about thankfulness with one of my favorite people. reading the newest issue of Better Homes and Gardens magazine cover-to-cover. Brian Williams delivering today’s news. Smart, candid, and just the right amount of humor. the daily bread that satisfies my natural needs and the “Bread of Life” who sustains me. “To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven.” ~Johannes A. Gaertner
