In this season of gratefulness, I am thankful for:
- a father who always told his children that they could do and be anything they wanted
- a mother who always pointed out the colors and beauty in nature on our drives in the country to visit grandparents and color sense every season when we shopped for clothes
- the good, interesting, and thoughtful adults that my children have become; I would like them even if they weren’t my children!
- genetics, and the nurturing of the creative self
- parents who taught their children how to be responsible adults and valued education
- for the opportunity to pursue my creative side
- health, family, friends, and good books—of course!
- the wonderful fall weather outside with its beautiful, colorful clothing
- medical miracles
- the generosity of weavers with ideas and help
- the sheep who give us their wool
- art in all its forms
- and last—but not least—grateful for never having to cook a turkey!
The more I think about this, the longer the list could be, so I’m stopping now. Happy Thanksgiving!
