Being Thankful

Three days at once again!

Today, I am thankful for the BBC. I do enjoy BBC world on the three nights a week that I am home to see it. Tonight they had a wonderful human interest story, about a woman who just turned 110. She first began to get a birthday card from the queen when she turned 100. Then she got 9 more. One problem - they were all the same card. She has nine lovely identical photos of the queen in a yellow dress. She then wrote Buckingham Palace to complain - she wanted a different card. One of the princes visited her in her nursing home to apologize. And this year she got a card with a new photo. I love this story.

Saturday, I was thankful for books - I watched a neat movie, but it made me cry. So I grabbed a book, and felt better. Yay!

Sunday I was grateful for my friends - I have a lot of far-flung friends and many of them have kept in touch with me in spite of the distance.
