Today
I am grateful for...
...the wind in my hair,
the
damp, green autumn grass under my feet,
the
sunlight streaming through the trees, glinting on the last of the falling
leaves,
the
quiet embrace of the empty woods and the peace that I find there,
the
muddy stream running through the valley,
the
uncut, faded grass in the meadow where wild flowers grow in the summer
and
the ecstatic freedom of my beautiful, bouncing, bounding, young yellow Labrador
as she keeps me company on my walk.
But
most of all I am grateful for the lives and the love of my three beautiful
boys.
