In Gratitude-- thanks for reading-- and letting me write--

“We pay a price for everything we get or take in this world; and although ambitions are well worth having, they are not to be cheaply won, but exact their dues of work and self denial, anxiety and discouragement.”

― Lucy Maud Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

I am very grateful for my faith, my family and friends, for a warm home, useful work to do, good food to share, and the chattery brain I seem to be possessed of.

While each day can provide its small challenges, it's the overcoming of those challenges that makes a life worth reflecting on, and today --and, honestly, every day-- I am pleased with outcomes. Anything worth having takes work, and I'm very happy to have things to do and to write about.

Thank you for hanging in there with me and my little blog, my poems scattered out there in the world, and my book reviews. It feels good and necessary to write, to reach out and muse "aloud," and this is the way I can do that without people staring. I am very thankful for that.

Have a good holiday,

C
