Our lovely Christmas Eve church service led me to reflect on the many things for which I can be thankful, even in the midst of this tough economic environment and a time of turmoil for our country.

I have a job/career that I love, and I think I should be able to keep it. You never know.
Family- My wonderful daughter is grown up, married and a postulant for the priesthood. She is cooking Christmas dinner! I have an awesome new son in law who is my hero for keeping his head above water as a 1st year medical resident. My son- well, he’s doing well at school, working and he’s home with us for Christmas! Only 3 semesters of tuition left. I lost my first parent this year, which was tough, but I have three left.
My health and fitness- H and I are still fit and active. I ran and raced successfully this year.
Friends- Real life and cyber-friends. Both are important to me and there is always someone there for me.
My pets- What companions they are! A huge dog, 3 cats and 3 grand-cats.
