In getting to know you better,
I try to understand and empathize
By conversation as your newsletter
To see the world thru your eyes.

Gratitude for Latitude

My friend James Kent publishes an online newsletter for his family & friends. It's called Ohana News. Each year he asks for contributions for his Thanksgiving Issue.

Gratitude for Latitude

4 November 2011

This year I’m grateful to get a pension

Meaning no alarm clock (That I savor.)

Which greatly reduces my tension

And contributes to each day’s flavor.

I’m glad of the serendipitous discovery

That chocolate, blueberries and walnuts

Improved my short-term memory

And boosted my brain out of its ruts.

I’m thankful to be in San Diego County

For the weather, Balboa Park, beach,

And mountains; meaning so much bounty.

I appreciate having friends within reach,

To socialize with gay men who

Think along the same lines as me,

Enjoy the same activities as I do

And add to my felicity.
