Lynne Mixson offered me the Gratitude Challenge, and on a day like this it seems very appropriate to accept. Ill post 3 things Im grateful for every day for 5 days. However, Im not going to do the tag 3 friends part. Id much rather have people reading what I write and being inspired to talk about what they are grateful for. Number One for today has to be Platty, the Golden Retriever. Ive followed the story of this very special dog since February, and took great inspiration from the posts that were made in his name; wisdom and philosophy... and the great courage and love of the humans who took care of Platty. He apparently lost his battle with cancer and the lung infection that came on him a few weeks ago this past Friday (while we were away on our stay-cation). Im grateful for his human family and how they approached Plattys time with them. Im grateful for Plattys example of LIVING LIFE with JOY, despite fighting such a terrible medical obstacle. That leads me to number two - Im am so grateful to have Dougie IN my life now, and to have his boundless enthusiasm (and intelligence) constantly demonstrated to me. It also makes me so grateful for the time we had Nicky. When he passed, I thought I would never see such wisdom and love in another creatures eyes again. I believe Nicky guided us to Dougie and persuaded Dougie to pick us to be his family. And number three today, but number one in my life.... I am so grateful for my soul mate, my wife, Miriam Huebscher-Scott. Her love, generous heart, great intelligence, and incredible work ethic, and all the energy she devotes to providing this family with their every need are such a blessing. It is a pleasure to tell her publically how much I love her and how grateful I am to have her in my life. I hope that I am always able to meet her every need as she has mine. This is probably much more mushy than she is comfortable with on a public stage.
