All These Things and More!

Alive today, in this time, undeserving, yet, I am blessed…
By His divine mercy
By His eternal love
With a resolute faith 
With a loving family 
With special friends – a few
With hands yearning to heal
With a gift of verse -sometimes
With a gift of stitching - therapeutic
With a spirit for sharing
With a penchant for nature – no reptiles 
With a special love for roses
With a beautiful smile that welcomes 
With great fondness for the sea shore 
With an incredible love for books and music
With a heart that loves unconditionally
With eyes that still see some good
For all these things-everything and 
More!

Gosh, we have a lot in common, Audrey. I love sewing, nature, the seashore, books and music as well. And the Luther Vandross song you sent to me was amazing. As for the reptiles -- we just learn to deal with alligators in Florida. LOL I think Dane Ann will love your entry. Wishing you success as always. Love, Carolyn
