-I am grateful for my father, and all the help he has given me with my many, many projects. Today he taught me how to troubleshoot a non-starting small engine, one of the many skills that I need to add to my repertoire.

-I am grateful that I can share my hopes and pain here as I journal, and that there are so many caring and supportive people here who understand what I am going through.

-I am grateful for my feline friends. They offer me distraction and affection in equal measure.
