[ARC5] Gratitude

[David Stinson]

At the beginning of a new year, I try to remember,
and be grateful for, all the blessings I've received.  
I just found an old "Wanted" list from long ago.
I thought it would be interesting to share how it's changed,
and to express my humble gratitude to all who have 
helped slim it down over the last decade. 
Share a comparison of your own.
You might find you also have some blessings.
