This is the day the Lord has made. 

 I will rejoice and be glad in it.

Today I am grateful for every year I have lived, even the difficult ones. No special reason that this is on my mind today--except that we have crocuses blooming in our yard and spring really feels like it is settling in.

Never mind that we may still be in for a winter storm or more. Never mind that I need to meet some deadlines and work at bringing order to my surroundings.

I am thinking about growing old and for right now it doesn't seem too bad an option.  I prefer it to the alternative.

• Youth is wasted on the young.
• We get too soon old and too late smart.
• I'm old enough to know better.
• I'm not getting older, I'm getting better.
• Grow old along with me.

Today I am thankful that my kneecap is healing and my rehab therapist has brought my walking almost back to normal.

Today I am thankful for everything!

I do hope you are, too.
