Erika’s furry friends Alvin and Arrow

Erika – I’m grateful for my amazing kids and lifelong friends that bring me joy (and my kittens too); local natural areas where I can visit to soothe my soul; and fresh clean rivers to paddle on to just have fun.

Dana – My couch looks toward a picture window in sight of our winter bird feeder. Working from home on snowy days in recent past allowed some quality time watching the birds coming and going from my mobile workstation (laptop at the couch). I am thankful for the cheerful visitors politely taking turns at the feeder while chirping light into a gray day.
