I’m grateful for my great-grandma.

*My great-grandmother was such a wonderful woman that all should have known. Some key points in her talk I gave at her funeral were as follows. The noise of the trains through Midvale, she said it would make her feel so alive in the middle of the night. Another was the fact of how much she loved her dogs. “If it’s good enough for me to eat, it’s good enough for my dog to eat.” You would never leave her home hungry. She loved cookies, cakes and pastries. Whenever I think of donuts or eat donuts I think of her. She was the kindest, softest-toned woman you’d ever meet. I’m beyond blessed to have known her. This will be our third thanksgiving without her. She was the glue to our family. Too bad in reality it was just elmers-glue and not super-glue.

I’m grateful for sadness.

*For without it we would not have happiness.

I’m grateful for happiness.

*Happiness is the sole greatest emotion to feel. Happiness over-rides many emotions in my book. Happiness can cure all ills in your life so long as you let it.
