I'm so thankful for so many blessings in my crazy life (despite my attempts to mess it all up):1. Friends in many places -- high and low (geographically, of course) -- who actually want to spend time with me. Wha?!
2. FOOTBALL SEASON!
3. Good music. I do love a good lyric, and set to fun tunes, even better. And LIVE..... ::happy sigh::
4. The option to look at a situation, make the best of it, and find ways it can be improved. For whatever reason, this never gets old for me. (Ok, maybe some days at 4:45pm it gets old. But usually, I'm all up for it.)
5. Pop Ball. I talk a lot in conversation and in writing about my Nan, and many times include stories about The Colonel, but I know for a fact that I don't give him the "air time" he's due. Mr. Cliff has not only been wonderful for my Nanny and for our family, but he has led a rich, full life in which he's done #4 on this list tirelessly, and has done it with gusto and without regard for age, life hindrances, or disasters of any kind. I admire this man more than I could say, and thank him with all my heart for being the only grandfather I can remember ever knowing. It can't be easy to jump into a family like ours, but he did it, and last weekend he turned 87. God bless him.
