I am grateful to have a home of my choosing and I'm selfishly happy to not have lost my home in those dreadful fires of last year. I'm grateful to have been invited to serve as curcifer last week, I was honored to be raising the ancient brass processional cross that my father carried over 60-no, wait, it's more like 70 years ago. I'm happy to have found this site, I enjoy reading about everyone's life. I am happy when passages of life are met and acknowledged. My mother sent a year wearing black also, Julia. We were all happy when she allowed colors back into her wardrobe. I'm grateful that I can dream and wish and sigh.....

I've spent the last week bemoaning my bad cold rather than being grateful for the ability to take the cruise where I got it and where I met many new interesting people! I'm grateful for my family, friends, church family, my cat and senior rescue pup and all the wonderful authors, including you, who I've been blessed to meet as part of my church's Author Luncheon series.Thank you!Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14903864302352276426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-91827669021644798092018-10-12T17:23:25.986-04:002018-10-12T17:23:25.986-04:00Yes!

Hollyhocks grow from seeds, but seeds can lie dormant in the soil for a while. They're such pretty, old-fashioned flowers. I'd love to see some of those come up unexpectedly!

No fires like the fires we had last October just before I left for Bouchercon. Grateful that I got to see the beautiful Royal wedding on the TLC channel this morning. Grateful for beautiful weather. It's nippy outside, not too hot, which is just right. Grateful for my friends' book launches this month. Grateful that I am getting more bookstagram followers finally! Grateful for good friends. Grateful that I will get my flu vaccine on Monday.<br /><br />There are many simple things to feel grateful for!<br /><br />DianaBibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764234701385787238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-22317999630488350452018-10-12T14:38:14.090-04:002018-10-12T14:38:14.090-04:00Julia, I picked it up because Ann Mason recommende...Julia, I picked it up because Ann Mason recommended it here on JRW. <br />Go ahead and put your name on the hold list--it's an interesting read.Flora Churchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13289148096894506235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-55034324306780464462018-10-12T14:21:34.943-04:002018-10-12T14:21:34.943-04:00David, I love your list, and you remind me to be a...David, I love your list, and you remind me to be aware and grateful for the technological marvels we have right at hand. I love the fact I can say, "Alexa, play Maine Public Classical," and get beautiful music streaming into the kitchen (I love too far out in the country to receive it over the air.) I love that I can borrow books from the city library without leaving my sofa by downloading them. And I love the way I can see hundreds of classic movies on YouTube for free - just the other day, I was watching the 1982 version of The Scarlet Pimpernel and remembering how much I loved it when it first broadcast. These are the days of miracle and wonder.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09553268569509053159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-21327372944569384932018-10-12T14:03:38.426-04:002018-10-12T14:03:38.426-04:00Kathy, several of the dogs we've adopted over ...Kathy, several of the dogs we've adopted over the years have been seniors or older adults, and they've been some of the best companions imaginable.

It was funny, too, in that seeing the live horses(!!!) prance onstage, I realized operas in the 19th century were the big budget Marvel special effects movies of their day.
