One of the new traditions that my husband and I would like to start is to truly remember the things that we are thankful for on Thanksgiving.
Here is a start…

I am thankful for my family, especially my 101 ½ year old aunt.
I am thankful for my friends, especially those Wonderful Women.
I am thankful for poetry, especially the words of Mark Strand who helped me to get started writing in high school.
I am thankful for art, especially Georgia O’Keefe, who I carry with me everywhere.
I am thankful that I am safe.

I am thankful that I am warm enough in the winter and cool enough in the summer.
I am thankful that I have enough food.
I am thankful that I have a home.
