The Thanksgiving Holiday is my time to reflect on all the blessings of the past year. I am so thankful to be on this life journey with Marla. We have evolved and grown over the years. She is my partner, guide, and I am so very grateful for her love. The photo above is a special spot for our entire family at the Samuel P. Taylor State Park in Marin County, California.

We are so grateful for our daughter Lisa who is a great inspiration on many levels. Her spirit and kindness makes the world a better place. Thank you, Lis!

Our daughter Stacy embodies so many wonderful and loving elements and provides joy in our life. Thank you, Stac!

I am very thankful for our incredible granddaughter Logan who is such a warrior! We couldn’t be more thankful to have Paxton move back to Denver from Boston! He is teaching middle school at the same place Marla once taught in Denver.

Our Grandchildren in Dallas bring so much joy to our lives!

I am blessed and thankful for being able to have Grandsons Vaughan and Owen join me on a bike trip in Tuscany.

I am thankful for Marla’s Joie de vivre.

I am very thankful for Marla’s sense of adventure this past year. At the Grand Palace in Bangkok.

I am very thankful for Marla (and Lisa’s) sense of duty and activism for truth and justice.

I wish you all a wonderful and happy Thanksgiving holiday.
