X Y Z

The final three, though I’m taking poetic license and employing a symbol and a second language to round out the finish of my appreciation list from A to Z.

Though the alphabet often stumps me in my feeble attempts to craft words, I’ve really enjoyed seeing so many artistic renderings of these letter forms.  Thanks to Creative Commons for providing a platform for sharing the art.  And thanks to the photographers who make their work available in this way.

Thanks, thanks, thanks!  Starting the day with that attitude of gratitude.  Hope you’re feeling it too.

X aka KISS

(as in the ‘x0x0’ my mom would write on a napkin and put in my school lunch when I was a kid – ok, she still signs her emails like that and I’m almost 40)

Continuing on with my alphabetical appreciation, I enlist the help of the Bohemian to come up with the next selection of our combined count of thankful things.

The Bohemian, smiling:  “For you.”

Me:  “That starts with a ‘y’ not a ‘u’.”

The Bohemian:  “Right, ok.  How about…”
