I meet my friends for a drink, a walk or whatever we feel like doing. It is so nice to be back in their company!

I am grateful for the rain that has been falling the last few days. It cleans the air and waters all the thirsty trees and plants.

I spend too much time on my computer in the mornings, reading the news and answering emails. I am retired and it can really become a time sink! If I stop after a certain amount of time, no matter what, I think I will be more available to life.

I do have what I need. I feel grateful for the abundance of friends and family, and sufficient income to stay healthy, help others and enjoy life.

By my wonderful circle of loving friends and family. I am deeply grateful for all of them.

When I truly connect with another person. Be it a child who smiles at me in the mall, or a dear friend who patiently listens when I need it. The sacred is in all of us and I am grateful for this reminder to pay more attention.

My knees! I fell while hiking a few months ago and broke my femur. I healed rapidly, but I am noticing now that my gait is different and it is putting stress on my knees. I sure don’t want to fall again, so I will get a professional opinion on this.

Reading all the comments today has made my heart sing! Thank you all for sharing your stories.

I am going to the first gathering of friends today in over a year. I am grateful that we can gather safely today after a challenging year.

The earth continues to support us despite our ongoing damage to it.

I am deeply grateful for the love of so many friends and family. I am rich with their blessings and never feel alone knowing they are there.

My friend and colleague Greg. He is the best of the best; loves his daughter and wife, is a top-notch college instructor, a top athlete, and a wonderful colleague and friend. I never doubt his sincerity; he is a gem.

It keeps me in the positive flow of life. It is easy to get sidetracked by all the bad news in the world today, but there is much to be grateful for here in my own little corner of the Pacific Northwest.

Despite all of the wrongs humanity does to nature, it perseveres and continues to delight us. Never give up, it seems to say; love all natural things today.

My sense of humor. I love to laugh, and to make others laugh.

I read much less of the news online now, and I read interesting articles and look at websites that teach me new things.

Good for you, Carla!

Hi Mica,

What is the name of the good knee support you like?

Thanks!
Linda

Great post! I too, strive to be an “older” kind and caring person as I age. Good reminder, DeVonna.
