10 reasons

10 reasons to be thankful today:

1. Summer's last hurrah--spectactular September weather

2. 100 quarts of fresh applesauce, canned assembly-line style in my garage, by wonderful hard-working friends/family

3. our back yard, newly mown and manicured to perfection by Carl's brother Jake

4. a delicious home-cooked supper, courtesy of Lill

5. Carl can lie on his side now, allowing us to (very carefully!)
half-snuggle for a few minutes at a time

6. a reading of 69 degrees in the ability Carl has to bend his left leg - better than just two days ago in therapy
(90 degrees is considered functional)

7. hot water and plumbers who know how to fix things

8. my hairdresser, Deanna, who has persevered through her share of physical challenges, and come through with shining colors

9. medical insurance

10. Grace for each day
