I’m grateful I can cook a turkey dinner with all the trimmings. There was a time when that would have overwhelmed me. I’m grateful my daughter and I can cook together in the kitchen. There was a time when that would have only been a fight. I’m grateful my husband can eat. There was a time when the throat cancer wouldn’t let him. I’m grateful for my sons’ happy families and my grandchildren. There was a time when I thought I’d never live to see the day. I’m grateful I’m still alive and well despite my less than healthy ways. There was a time when living wasn’t what I wanted to do. I’m grateful for my old Schnauzer dog that gets me up too early so I have time to write. There was a time when I didn’t have this special time. I’m grateful for my family that loves and appreciates me. There was a time when I could not see or feel that. Most of all I’m grateful that I never gave up and am happy here today. There was a time when I believed the darkness was here to stay. I’m grateful for my blessings. There was a time when I couldn’t thank God then say pass the gravy please. LGR(C)11/17/18 |

There IS a time when I can only say I am grateful for Lori, the poet. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |
