My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. A beautiful Martin Luther King Day parade here in Savannah.

2. Truth:

3. Grandson Gabriel’s soaring pink basketball shoes.

4. The incredible luxury of owning a car! Which like many (most?) things I usually take for granted.

Here’s ours …

Kidding.

Here it is …

(With Robert texting or something in his skinny jeans.)

Ours may be little and a bit shy, but she takes us from Point A to Point B. And even sometimes from Point A to Point Z!

5. You in all your You-ness.

May You and your You-ness find Warmth and a measure of Joy this weekend.

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. January’s camellias here in Savannah.

2. I know I have expressed gratitude about this before, but isn’t it just such an incredible luxury to have Hot and Cold Running Water?!

3. This little fellow I met yesterday.

We chatted for a while. And he posed for a pic.

4. Simple sidewalk beauty.

5. A little bit of Christmas simply refusing to go away.

May weekend beauty find you.

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Our little cabin on Lake Delano at F.D. Roosevelt State Park in Pine Mountain GA over Christmas weekend.

2. HR grilling bbq chicken thighs while I watch comfortably from the cabin porch.

3. Speaking of grilling, driving to Dowdell’s Knob near the state park to see where FDR had a stone grill overlooking the Georgia hills.

Cool statue of FDR, the only one showing his paralyzed legs without braces.

Here’s the … “grill.”

FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT LOVED TO PICNIC HERE, AND HE HAD THIS GRILL BUILT. IT WAS FILLED IN TO PRESERVE IT.

Well, it ain’t a Big Green Egg.

4. The Joy of Travel.

5. Surviving the hilly and creek-crossing 4.2 mile Cascade Falls Hike (a part of the 22 mile Pine Mountain Trail) on Christmas Eve.

May we all have Reason to Smile as we hike toward the end of 2023.
