These two readings made a perfect synthesis of my understanding of the state of the day. Both were gleaned in my scan of the blogosphere today.

I am thankful for:

My partner
My son
My family
My health
My home
My friends
My fortune
My life.

Thank you to all those who make this wonderful life possible. It is good. It is beautiful. We have so much. I hope we can work hard to change the world, so there is more health, more beauty, more safety, more balance for all.
