I am grateful today that my son is heading to work at his full time job -it is a blessing After nine previous years of David caught up on other areas and now he is doing so well. I am relieved and proud. Keep it up and keep on going.I am grateful that Deidre is doing very well at her classes at John Taylor Collegiate in Winnipeg. We live right across from the school and I can look out the window of my apartment and view the front entrance of the school. She has no excuse to be late and anyway she gets up very early to prep for her arrival-the fashion statement, etc. I have been painting quite a bit lately and I am seeing my dortor and nurse at the health Science Centre for ongoing treatment for my chronic health condition. So going there once or twice a week has motivated me to arrange for my early retirement package through the bank and other support structures. My sister and Peter are back safely from their travels to Singapore, Thailand,and Vietnam. So I have much for which to be grateful.
