Gratitude: November 4

I have gratitude today:

For compassionate nurses.

For cabbage and mushroom pie.

For apologies.

For forgiveness.

For clean counters.

For fun family stories told, stories so funny I laughed until my stomach hurt. 

For Tonya's retelling of the stories.

For Brandi Carlile, who has one of the most beautiful voices ever.

For my favorite mug, purchased for myself after the fire as a reminder.

For more of that tea with catnip, so I can have another laugh before bed.

For a moment over dishes, looking at my husband and saying, 'We have a really good life.'

Because really? We do.
