midlife monday: being thankful

I admit, sometimes my blog touches on the dark side of my life. I make no apology; contrary to what has been suggested, there is no obligation to read the posts - it is purely voluntary on the part of the reader.

I'm a big believer in blogging as therapy and it has helped me through quite a lot of change in the last few years. I'm quite sure that sometimes the posts seem unrelentingly dark, as if I'm not thankful for anything in my life. This is hardly further from the truth.

 Since it's Thanksgiving today, I'll share some of the many gratitudes I have in my life.
Happy Thanksgiving :)

travel and a new travel buddy

a sense of humour

family :)

friends (good friends)

beauty in the natural world

creativity
