I am grateful for the people God has allowed me to meet this year
and for those whose relationships have grown deeper
for my health
good job
supportive family
and eyes to see my beautiful surroundings
for not allowing the 35W collapse to have nearly as many cars involved as could have been
and for the many more lives that will be saved as a result of upped bridge safety

for bringing a good, faithful man into my friend's life

and for removing a less-than from another's

for being with us throughout
and for journeys that go through seasons
and visual seasons that help process life
