I give thanks for a beach where children can play in the sand and jump in the waves.
I give thanks for the conductor of the train in Griffith Park.
I give thanks for the designer of carousel animals.
I give thanks for the publisher who is working hard to get my book ready for the spring catalog.

I give thanks for life.
I give thanks for the sound of water bubbling in the small fountain of half an old wine casket on my deck.
I give thinks to my daughter-in-law for sending pictures of a grandchild I haven't met.
. . . and much more.
