Waves of gratitude for:
- My father who would have been 65 today. He passed in February. Our relationship was strained for much of the last decade plus, but we loved each other and I had some very special memories with him which I am thankful for. Dad - remember those pancakes you made us in the shape of dinosaurs and mickey mouse. I was thinking of them the other day.
- Arts and Crafts style - Greene and Greene brothers - thanks for affirming in your work what my heart has always wanted to see in wood, stone, tile and copper. Genius.
- Global Footprint Network
- Coworkers who don't give up and for a team that works together across timezones and cultures. I am thinking about Alexey's wedding in Kiev and hearing the Scorpions singing Winds of Change - "Did you ever think that we could be so close.. like brothers". So much to change still but working together is a start. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taVW8Kv2HcQ
- Vornado fans on a hot day
- Women with tattoos in the Mission District of San Francisco in summer.
- Primavera of Sonoma Salsa and vegan tamales and jasmine rice Sherry made.
- Rootbeer and iced tea - next to water they are the best beverages on the planets
- The thing in me that won't let me quit, that causes me pain when I am not on my path, that knows when I must make amends or when I have not done my best. Whatever that is and wherever it came from, I have infinite gratitude for its existence and its persistence in helping me shape my life.
