Each day I witness reasons to be thankful. Still the last Thursday in November forces me to pause. It is precious time to stand serene and look around. Open eyes to the apparent and hidden. For that special day, a list…grateful images of the heart:
Nurses, police, fireman and first responders who leave their homes
The problem of too many cancer survivors
Brilliant crisp fall morning holding birds anxious in flight as they cry adieu
Six partners, we fight the cancer war
My health and the opportunity to guard it
Those that survive the fury of earth, wind and water
Intimate small gatherings with mashed potatoes, hot
Grand raucous gatherings with plentiful leftovers, cold
Increasing cancer cure rates
Leaf colors rain as curtains rise on autumn hills
Those that stand post to protect freedom
2 million Americans more than 90 years old
Memories of those gone and the living gifts they leave
Glass of Scotch, neat
The healing power of the human spirit on body and soul
The stethoscope
The splendor of music
Apoptosis
Patient and student mentors
The smoke alarm during festive cooking
Miracle medicines
The honor of serving this remarkable community
A warm fire, warm home, warm bed
The brief blessing of life
The United States of America

Happy Thanksgiving,
