FYI

todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful

for my sense of humor -- many don't care for it and that's OK

for the approaching end to another year on this little blue planet, all of it spent above the grass (again)

for wonderful memories of my childhood at Christmas; decorating the house inside and out and playing Santa Claus every year on Christmas morning (I traditionally handed out the packages to be opened)

for the willingness to put in hard work toward my recovery

that today is the shortest day of the year


With courage you will dare to take risks,
have the strength to be compassionate,
and the wisdom to be humble.
Courage is the foundation of integrity.
