The last few weeks have been filled with grief, rage, fear and anxiety. Although the problems we face have not eased, I feel more peaceful. Just sitting with my sons, quietly conversing, has eased the sadness and helped restore a bit of hope. In his blessing at dinner tonight, Evan said, "The great work begins." Yes. There's much to do in the coming months and years, but for today, I give thanks for the richness of our lives. I am especially thankful for:
Sons and daughter who are happy, healthy, employed and insured
A great marriage
Good relationships with my sisters and brothers and wonderful friends
The strength and endurance to hike, swim, backpack and garden as much as I wish
Opportunity and means to explore the world
Meaningful work with kids and adults I love
Completing my first book! A dream fulfilled!
