November is half over and it is getting cold outside. In the past month we have traveled through Oregon, Nevada, and today into California. My daughter and her family returned to California from Kansas this week. Kansas did not meet expectations. Once you have lived in California it is hard to live anywhere else. California is a land of beauty, not just in landscape but in people. The diversity of nature and of culture is alive and thriving in California. It is a place where it is okay to be a bit different, to lean toward nonconformity, to wear white after Labor Day.

One week before Thanksgiving. Grateful for family. Grateful to have roof over my head, our heads, and food in the cupboards and refrigerator. Grateful for the good health of all I love. Grateful for the strength of character exhibited by my very fabulous children. Grateful for the love I am surrounded by and cushioned by each and every day. Grateful to live in this country, with all its faults and all its wonders.
