When our perils are past, shall our gratitude sleep? ~George Canning

I'm grateful today for:

• Joe came home from the hospital.
• the nurses who cared for him.
• the dialysis that allows his life to be of better quality and less stresson his kidneys.
• co-workers from the oilfield who saw my car in the parking lot while I was working in the town office and who came in to check on me.
• the good night's sleep I had without waking up worried.
• my good friend who understands what I'm going through when others don't.

And, I'll be very grateful when Joe is tucked in bed beside me tonight.
