Kim asked that we center our "texture" around "gratitude" especially with Thanksgivings in US and Canada just completed. I am thankful... for my freedoms, for my children and families, having the opportunity to share in my mother's passing in February - such a blessing, getting better from a major fall in July, my part-time employment so I can continue to support my arts, a home, a car, food - and, smaller luxuries... a wonderful little milk frother purchased on Black Friday that even heats the milk (thus, my photo and texture this week). Smiles, love and hugs to all.
And, those "10 Things to Remember" in case you wish to know...
