Be Grateful

---

This old gal…

Has to admit…that through the years…she’s done things…she didn’t really want to do…things…she didn’t really like…things…just because others were doing them…typical teenage shenanigans…aerobics…camping…jogging…that dreaded I-came-in-dead-last 5K…and most recently…hiking…

Well not really hiking hiking…but walking up a hilly super rocky slope…a mile or so…out in some wooded area…sunny day…trees blooming…no reason not to have fun…but for this old gal…it was too hot…too humid…too…polleny…the rocks…too rocky…

And then…there it was…a sign…saying old gal…come on now…be grateful…for this beautiful day…be grateful…you are here…be grateful…you have such fun company…

And be grateful…very very grateful…the trek…is…almost halfway…over…
​
And this husband of mine…agreed…
