Thankful thoughts

He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.” ~Epictetus
I’m grateful for so much this year. I’m grateful that my family and friends have survived the economic recession, even though some of us have lost jobs, clients, assignments, or enthusiasm. We still have each other. I’m grateful for having enough of everything I need — and for having an abundance of love in my life. But topping my gratitude list right now is the happy thought of my son flying in from Chicago to visit us for the Thanksgiving holiday. He was able to schedule some extra vacation time, so he’ll be here through next weekend.
So I won’t be posting as often this week, here or on Facebook. An essay I posted last month touches on the topic of grown children coming home to visit for the holidays — and the importance of counting our everyday blessings. If you missed it earlier, please click here to read it.
Heartfelt thanks go out to all of you who stop here regularly, leave your comments, and share your own blogs and writings with me. I also want to send a special shout-out to Deb of Talk at the Table, for surprising me this week with one of the loveliest reviews of Writing Home I’ve ever received. While I often write about the fact that the Internet is a cornucopia of mixed or dubious blessings, it has introduced me to many wonderful new friends. I am so thankful for that. — CL
