Things I am Thankful for at this moment in my life:

My wonderful grandaughter AmyLou....who is twisting my arm and making me do this.

The rest of my family

I am grateful that my wife didn't have to suffer any longer than she did
and the fact that I was able to have her for 63 + years.

I would be grateful for inspiration right at this moment.

Microwaves that warm the cold food from the cafeteria.

Heaters!

Young women and young men from the Bridgerland 3rd ward who came and sang carols to me and all of the other residents last night.

My meal partners(inmates in crime.)

I am thankful that I am younger than Jim Morgan and Keith Spencer who are 94 and 95. Jim still walks around the big block. I am thankful I can walk around the little block!

The community hospital representative(Linda Clark) who came and talked to all of the residents about How to stay Young at Heart....Mae was her supervisor at the Logan Regional Hospital.
