Three Gratefuls

When I am feeling sad or down, which is more frequent these days, I try to think of three things that I am grateful for...They don't have to be prioritized or thought over--just whatever comes to mind. This practice came from a good friend, via gratefulness.org. It works sometimes, giving me a positive boost!
I am grateful for my weekly bath.
I am grateful for the positive decisions on marriage and healthcare by the US Supreme Court.
I am grateful for the morning showers that ride over the mountians on summer Tradewinds.

A Father's Thoughts

A father's thoughts

My son is 25 this week. Have I done all that is possible?

On the surface he has grown into a fine man. How much of that is me?

I wonder what scars my disease has left on him?

I'm grateful for the memories, mostly loving, proud and joyful.

They give me solace, as I lay here unable to make more.

I'm left with the knowledge that I tried my best.

It's his life now.

Beatiful June sunset from my window!
