Gratitude

Although I have lived in my new place in upstate New York for over a year, I still have not gotten Massive Communications Company to get me anything resembling high-speed internet. What I have is barely crawling speed. This I think as much as anything has kept me away from blogging.

Okay, not to begin this gratitude post with a complaint, but just to say that here I am, visiting my sister in Brooklyn, and her internet speed is fine, and so I will grab this opportunity for a Thanksgiving post.


This year, I am thankful for:

my family and friends who are here, and those whom I remember every day

the ability to read, write, think, work

the roof over my head

unexpected kindnesses

my rational self and my dreaming self, sometimes in fruitful combat



Hope all who happen to read this have a peaceful day, filled with kindness.
