Hi,  I don't post much, more of the lurker type.  But this evening as I stood in backyard looking over a field with toads croaking & birds singing, it finally hit me that I have lot to be grateful for.  A few hours earlier I stood at this same spot watching a tornado pass a few blocks south of me, causing destruction & destroying lives in Moore, OK.  After watching the endless news reports on said event.....I'm sitting in my comfortable recliner in my home thankful that I'm safe, my family & friends are accounted for & safe..  Just to appreciate doing this.....that's gratitude.  You never know when your life will be swept away in a second.  Be grateful for the moment you have.    God Bless......
