THANKSGIVING

I’m thankful for my health
My life partner
Friends & fellowship
A roof over my head
Trees
Fresh air
Laughter
Good food & drink
Flowers
A sense of humor
Good books
Detective stories where the bad guy goes to prison
Other fairy tales
And kind, friendly trolls.

I find much needed solace with this poem, which I have loved for many years.

I love trolls. Met Malin from Pease Park.

Trapdoor spider, I wonder?
