- Remembering to use the "numbered list" function of my blog. Better coding, better formatting, and less frustration.
- Cool weather. A cold front came through last night. It brought some rain, but now it is sunny and perfect for walking.
- Living in this area where the air is clear and sky is wide open.
- The Old Chapel in Ivinghoe, Buckinghamshire (UK), and all of its denizens who share laughs with me on a regular basis.
- An easy day when I can remember good friends and enjoy the outdoors.

Five Things I am Thankful For (2)
Sorry, but i got very busy this past weekend. Here are five more things:
1. Charka dog, especially in the morning. She is usually stretched out on the floor in the livingroom when I get up. As soon as she sees me her tail starts wagging and her eyes light up. I go to pet her and she rolls over on her side so that I can get her belly (along with scratching her nose and ears).
2. Cool mornings. The weather has been pleasantly cool in the mornings, and the air has been fragrant with grass cuttings, moist earth, and various natural scents of wood and herbs and whatever else is growing, blooming, or dying this time of year.
3. PBS. I watched the first installment of the latest Ken Burns documentary, "The War," last night. It's done very well. A lot of my other favorite programs (Waking the Dead, Silent Witness, Inspector Lynley Mysteries, Waiting for God, etc.) are on PBS.
4. BBC television. They make most of my favorite programs on PBS!
5. My husband, Ed. ('nuff said)

Five Things I am Thankful For (First Post)
This is the first entry of what I hope will be many. It's an exercise for my mind. I should be adding to it every day. Here goes. . .
- The Bulletin Bloopers (see below) that my friend Richard sent to me. They make me laugh.
- My friend Richard. He makes me laugh. He also gets me out for a walk.
- My friend Amy. She laughs at these with me. Pretty soon we're crying because we're laughing so hard.
- Email. It makes it possible to share silliness.
- Trish. She gave me great insight today (again!).
