Giving thanks

Many things to be thankful for:

• Great parents. Luck of the draw. They just left too soon.
• Born before WWII. Can remember it. Not raised on TV.
• Survived several wild decades. Not sure why.
• Several great teachers. Linus Pauling. Bob Trevor. Dean Regenos.
• Harriet. I don't want to outlive her.
• Still a survivor. Must be genetics, certainly not a history of good decisions. Astoundingly good health, knock on my wooden head. Flip side, outlived my closest friends.
