a good idea

I noticed that one of my friends has started posting a note of thankfulness every day in November (leading up to Thanksgiving, I assume). I think that's a grand idea, and I know I can be awfully negative sometimes, so I'm thinking I'll try it. Hopefully it will work better than my 30 days of poems, which crashed and burned.

For the first post of November, I think I will be thankful for Theo and Simon, my two wonderful nephews, who will be three years old this Saturday. They are wonderful--smart, funny, sweet, and tremendously cute.

I'm also thankful for my nieces, Sarah, Audrey, and Kamalia. They are very different people, but each of them brings something really special to the world. And Sarah has also brought us the joy of her son, a sweet little guy named Peter.

And of course, I am grateful for my sisters, Cornelia and Victoria. We haven't always been close, and we haven't always agreed about things, but they are my sibs, and I love them very much.
