Today’s “Gratitude 5”

Things I’m grateful for today and every day:

Tall Paul
My stepchildren, the Tall Kids, who will be back from Camp Grandma this weekend and back in school a week from Wednesday
My son, not so tall and not such a kid anymore, who has a job that uses his degree, his own apartment, and a nice girlfriend three months out of college (although he’s actually had the girlfriend longer than that)
My mother-in-law, operator of the aforementioned Camp Grandma
My sister, whom I now live across town from after many years of cross-country separation

Something extra to be thankful for today (but actually happened yesterday):

The driver of the red pickup truck that actually held back and waved me ahead to merge from the 170 freeway on to I-5 yesterday afternoon on the way home, instead of speeding up to pass me before I could change lanes. You might have to drive in Southern California to appreciate just how special it is when that happens.
