Depending on . . .

“On Thanksgiving Day we acknowledge our dependence.” William Jennings Bryan

Though I consider myself fiercely independent, I do, indeed rely on so many throughout the day. To those upon whose hearts and spirits my strength and independence depends:

Thank You to the PD community for your determination and humor. Both buoy me.
Thank You to the woman on the elevator at the doctor’s office for your compliment. I thought about our encounter you all day.
Thank You to the grocery bagger in checkout line 3 – I appreciate your care not to squish the avocados and not to pack so much into those giant cloth bags I bring. That way I can carry them.
Thank You all who read this blog, for letting me share my musings with you.
Thank you to my art teachers – you’re opening new worlds for me.
Thank you to my friends and family who let me ‘normal’ at the same time accepting the differences PD can affect.
Thank you to my sister. I adore you. I adore us.
Thank you to my son. All that you are. You keep me grounded even though you think I can fly.
Thank you to my husband. The support, the joy, the way you smile.

I so depend on your sweeps through my heart for you are my daily blessings. Thank you.
