NewChapter - Grateful for the first part of your post - it's so encouraging & inspiring. I wish I'd come to realize those things when I was younger. Grateful that the light dawned when it did.
RZ - Sounds like a lovely repast.
Numb - We'll be thinking of you in the great outdoors, roughing it.
I'm grateful, too, for some outdoor sittin'. Was a long winter.
Grateful that MrH does all the cooking - I sometimes feel guilty though.
Grateful to know I'll never lose control of myself again.
Grateful the flowers I bought yesterday lived through the night.
Grateful for our little grat family of wonderful people.
