mdlbear | Thankful Thursday

So, after posting my first Wishful Wednesday yesterday, it seems only appropriate to follow it up with a Thankful Thursday. So here goes.

First and always, my wonderful wife Colleen, and her slow but steady recovery.
Our friends, and in particular to screaming_angel, cflute, and phoenixpdx, who have recently offered to help with wishlist items, and to moshez, Ali, and Marty whose help is ongoing. The rest of you, however, are not forgotten.
My sister-of-choice pocketnaomi, who helped me find my heart again after many years, and who continues to keep me anchored in reality while adding a welcome touch of whimsy.
Whimsy. And welcome to Flower, Colleen's new, multicolored dragon.
A job I love, and coworkers who are mostly smarter than me but continue to find my talents and experience useful.
Barefoot Coffee Roasters.
Free software, and an operating system that just plain works, and keeps working.
A body that, though old and creaky, is still working well enough to get by.
