Its been a while since I have posted anything…here’s what I am giving thanks for today.

- for the gift of friends that can listen to what is underneath the words I am saying.

- for the grace of asking and receiving forgiveness

- for the wonderful week spent with my family in St. Louis – trip to the zoo, great Indian food, happy surprises

- for being able to share my love of  poetry with a  new friend who also loves words and the images they evoke

- for cool fall weathers and the lovely colors of this season

- for the simple joy I have found in daily exercise (this is pure grace because I hate sweating!) … even at 4:30 a.m.

- for the blessing of being called to this life of prayer and community
