obrigada....

#14. i am thankful for good music. i am not, nor would ever claim to be, a music expert. but, i am thankful for the music i love, which is a little bit of everything. it can be the perfect mood maker: happy, calming, exciting and inspiring. so thank you james, billy, dave, frank, nat, ella, willie, yo yo, abba, nancy, garth, steven, anthony, louis, pete, marc, lily, mr. denver, bono & the edge (among endless others,) for the music, for giving it to me.

#15. i am thankful for the world's greatest friends. from sea to shining sea, i have the end all, be all of amigos and amigas. i could not be luckier and could not have people in my life that make me happier, smarter or laugh harder. they are supportive, they challenge me and make me smile. i love you all.

#16. i am thankful for good humor. i love to laugh and i am fortunate enough to be surrounded by family, friends (see above,) and my darling husband (who is both,) who make me laugh until it hurts. i have a theory that positive humor and sincere laughter (and bono) are going to save the world.

#17. i am thankful for the roof over my head. i know i complain that my charming little abode is just slightly larger than 400 square feet, but i love it and am so grateful for a warm, comfortable, clean, cute (if i do say so myself) and safe place to come home and spend my time with bromley b. i love it.
