LOVE ...
• shopping for dress clothes with my teen grandson and hearing him speak in front of audiences and talking about the latest outdoor experience & being fascinated by his knowledge of history as he wins his favorite game of 'history trivia' :-D
• reading the work my teen granddaughter writes .... poems, short stores, novellas etc.  Hearing her latest original piano composition!  Seeing her amazing creative self emerge in both digital and traditional artwork!
• hearing about the latest science project and stopping to watch nature turn 'black ice to golden ice' on the lake with my tween grandson then talking about 'how truly amazing' things are.  Seeing him on the football field making an awesome catch makes my heart smile.
• watching my youngest granddaughter ride her horse and seeing her confidence and command with such large & smaller animals. Listening to her creative imagination take flight as she presents her latest scenario about life circumstances now and in the future!  Such an intuitive being she is!

Mostly thankful for the the truly blessed life I've been fortunate to enjoy and live with my high school sweetheart , my soul-mate for close to 50 years now .... through thick and thin / joy and sorrow / sickness and health ... we've supported each other through it all with love and compassion and 'learning' by sharing and teaching each other along the way.
