My Gratitude List

This will be an ever evolving page as I intend to add to it as and when..

I am grateful for:

• The 41 years I spent with Bob.  I say I grew up with Bob Baxter.

• My supportive daughter, son and their families. They are always there for me and their love got me through the dark, dreadful days when Bob died.
• The love of my 4 grandsons and the fact that they each allow me to share in some of their life
• The smile on the face of those same grandsons when they see me.
• My two sisters one in Los Angeles and one in London so we don’t see each other very often
• Email so that I can easily keep in touch with my sisters
• My wonderful friends who too are always there for me
• The unconditional love of my Tibetan Spaniel.  Unfortunately, Lotte had to be put to sleep in March 2013.  I still miss her.
• 

• The food in the larder and refrigerator
• Fresh and plentiful water to drink
• My inquiring mind
• Clothes to keep me warm
• 
• My lovely, warm and secure house. I’ve now moved on but still have a warm, safe place to call home
• Ability to walk, smile, talk and laugh
• Money in my wallet and in the bank
• And now some days later I forgot to be so grateful for being a breast cancer survivor of almost 11  17 years.
• My parents for the love and support they gave me and for the great childhood they afforded me.
• For my Father who’s faith in his three daughters and their ability to do and be whatever they wanted knew no bounds.
• The people that my children have chosen to marry and spend the rest of their lives with.
