Counting these thousand gifts has been such a joy.  There are moments of frustration or bitterness or anger or self-pity and then I look around me briefly and it’s like a Valentine just appears right next to me.  A moment, a giggle, a sweet hug, an unexpected phone call, or a heart shaped leaf are crafted and placed right in my path to draw me closer to my Lover.  Such sweet graces to ponder.
