Today I am grateful for:

1) My parents for words of encouragement, excitement in my new endeavors, and a feeling of pride that I am not longer going for the fun job but really thinking about my future.

2) My sense of humor.  Today a friend marveled in how I can come up with the right quip at the right time.

3) Meeting my neighbors.  When I first moved to my neighborhood I wasn’t that thrilled about it but now I love it.  I know my neighbors.  We stop, we chat, we support.  It feels like home more than ever.
