Post-Thanksgiving Gratitude

I'm thankful for all the usual things in my life: children, grandchildren, a home, vehicle, friends, my religious outlook, and the like.

What I'm most grateful for right now is that I didn't have seconds yesterday. My firsts were temperate, too. I've worked hard this year to lose the 40 pounds that I've shed, and it's a great joy to see that my habits, indeed, have moderated. After eating, I even took a walk! It felt very good.
