Olalla Creek

I tire of coughing and struggle.

My eyelids are weary and ready to rest.

I am laying in bed.  A curled up cat is beside my right foot.  My dog is at my feet, beside my cat.   My wife is here.  I  am thankful for this.

The wind howls outside.   I am happy and grateful not to be out in it.

I am thankful for my daughters,
