Grateful for those in my life

Who make it possible for me to do the work I do as an herbalist. Oh, you thought I did it all by myself ? No, thank the Creator, I do not have to. In truth, if I was left to having to get everything done, I would be unable to do so. So, I want the world to know how thankful I am to have these people in my life.
My husband, who daily works without complaint and is there for me. My beautiful daughter, who is my joy in life, through all the trials and triumphs. My friend Nece, who is my business bouncing board, my website mistress, she who strengthens me with loving words.
My friend Jenny, who is always available to talk about gardening, or to jump in the truck and go foraging, or just to hang with, and talk to. Molly who is helping organize and clean and fill containers, etc, etc. My nephew, Benjamin who has helped me do so much yard and gardening details, he is my strong arms, he who gets to unload compost and spread it. My loving brother, who is always ready to go to coffee with me and helps keep sanity in my life !
And for my students ( and most are friends, too) who keep me on my toes, always having to study to keep one step ahead of them. And many of them will be apprenticing in the months to come, which will help both them and me :).
Oh, and to my 4 legged baby, who keeps reminding me, I must enjoy today for tomorrow will come soon enough.
I love you all
Pam

Albert Schweitzer:
At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person.Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.
