A Bushel and a Peck

"I love you a bushel and a peck, a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck. A hug around the neck and a barrel and a heap. A barrel and a heap and I'm talkin' in my sleep about you..." When I was a child, my mom would sing this song often. I also sang it to each of my children, and I look forward to singing it to grandchildren. (No, I am NOT announcing anything.) When all is said and done, I have alot to be grateful for. I should look for these things often.
I feel peace at the temple. I have a family that is healthy. I am loved. I am not alone.
Music. Opportunities to serve. Good friends. Safe and comfortable home. Music. Even though I don't have all the answers, I have the ability to ask, learn, and grow.
For these and many other things, I am grateful.
