I am grateful for my fathers service as a captain in the 461st Bombardment Squad in the Army Air Corps (now the Air Force)during World War II. I just rediscovered a written account of my fathers missions from one of his crew and it is amazing, he was truly a real hero! How blessed I am to be his daughter : )

I am grateful for home grown fruits and vegetables! I just stopped at our local farm stand to pick up some of the last of the season produce. I will certainly miss it until it comes back in January. We are blessed her in California to have a longer growing season so the produce stands stay open longer in the season and reopens earlier too.
So good!

I am grateful when I have no aches and pains. Now that I am getting older I seem to get them often especially after I have worked hard. Wish it wasn't the case but at least I am still here regardless of the shape my body is in : )
