Gratitude: Happy About the Energy

This is my kinda gal!

Today, I'm grateful for:

A high level of energy that allows me--at 67 (68 in two weeks)--to be involved in ways that much younger people aren't. This is both physical and mental energy that lead to good health and remaining smack in the middle of projects that are of some value to me and to others.

There are days when, by 9 a.m. I have done as much work as 30-year-younger people finish in a day, leaving a good bit of time for play, which I thoroughly enjoy. I find that most of my closest friends are a good bit younger than I am because they remain curious, intellectually challenged by life and physically active.

I feel blessed with the situation and hope never to take it for granted.
