Gratitude

I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new.

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am the luckiest person I know. I try to remember that and to show gratitude and to give thanks for people, events, and things in my life that make it better each day. 

(See, you thought I was going to say something like, "I won't say which of the friends in this photo is the "old" and which is the "new", but I didn't do that. Instead I was just full of gratitude.)
