#simplethanks

Suddenly remembered the French proverb which was part of my speech way back 2004 (Elementary graduation😂): “Gratitude is the heart's memory.” 😘😘😘 #bethankful #gratitude #simplethanks #blessed

Thank you, dear friend, for charging forward on your own inclinations. You balance appreciating my support - but not needing it - so very well. When I falter, I don't fear letting you down. You stand steady and I rejoin you when I'm ready. Thanks for that.

Thank you, sweet little vegan café, for being surprisingly hidden in Chinatown and being everything we were looking for. You made me appear a tad more hip than I really am, as we found the perfect seat for the perfect vegan brunch, in a tiny café in the middle of a very big city.

Thank you, taxi driver, for asking that first question this morning, opening up a lively conversation all the way to the airport. From Kansas to Egypt, we found common ground, shared stories, and brought some light into the early morning hours of the commute.

Thank you, sister, for helping me to see myself and our family through your eyes. Scratch that. You do more than that. You help me see the whole big world through your life and experiences. Your path may be different, but I'm grateful for it. In our differences, we see a more complete picture of who we are.

Thank you, Detroit airport, for making me sit still - with no escape and nothing to do for over four hours. First I fought it, but then I found the beauty in taking a nap, reading a magazine, and listening to the songs on my Ipad that I'd forgotten about.

Just want to say thanks for my 14 followers so far. Even though most of you follow me just for the fact I follow you....thanks. I hope I give you guys something interesting to look at from time to time. ^-^
