GRATITUDES1. Cream of wheat for breakfast -- haven't had it in ages
2. Good neighbors
3. Several new recipes I'm anxious to try
4. Al Jarreau songs running through my mind
5. Rocking on the front porch in the autumn sunshine

7. Lighting the candles at dusk
8. A nice glass of chianti with dinner
9. Feather pillows and bright quilts
