I am grateful for-

Being able to vote in elections

Being able to vent freely after elections

Having had a Boxer named Valentino

My Grandmother crushing on Rudolf Valentino (thus, the dog's naming)

Having a veterinarian that lets me make monthly payment

For femmes tI loved hat shopped at Victoria's Secret for special, personal occassions and asking me to come along with them to help zip or hook

I am most gratefull, however, for learning the power of community through a village..

I'm grateful for:

Innocence - the small bits that remain are precious.

Intimacy - the kind that comes with trust. physical, emotional, mental.

Intellect - it's such a pleasure to be around people who are smarter than I am.

"Indubitably" ... has been my favorite word to say since childhood.

International travel - so delicious.

Ice and Indoor plumbing - need i explain more?

Imagination - because I'm one of those.

Infection control and Immunity - because I'm glad at 30 I'm not considered at the end of my life cycle as in prior centuries.

enough with the silliness...
