My weekly list of a few “joy inciters” in my life. A Friday Gratitude Journal, of sorts.
1. My Thanksgiving cranberry sauce!


2. Having hands and fingers (even with my arthritis) which enable me to chop onions for Thanksgiving dressing, shake hands with strangers, pick up granddaughter Isabelle and hold hands with HR.
3. The novel I am currently reading in my study chair about a Black American woman caught between her privilege and her identity.


4. This little tree near us who is losing his beautiful leaves. But see how he is standing proud in spite of his de-clothing



5. Peanut butter.
May you have a weekend for which to give thanks.
