BKA, lots of love to you following the death of a friend. I understand how sometimes you can be grateful when someone who's been sick a very long time passes. May her memory be for a blessing.
I'm on vacation in Bonaire and profoundly grateful for my time here. Grateful for incredible snorkeling and all of the gorgeous fish, turtles, rays and coral I've seen. Grateful for easy going, fun friends to travel with. Grateful for sunscreen. Grateful to get through a nasty night bunch of jellyfish, stung but ok in the long-run. Bad things can happen, they don't have to ruin the next day. Grateful to be enjoying every minute of it sober with my virgin Pina coladas. Grateful that my little dog is doing ok in my absence.
