Looks like Bush & Co are determined to do as much harm as they can before they leave.

1. In your life, what experience are you most thankful for? Giving birth. Cliche, yeah, but it really shot me into another dimension. And so did the results...an endless challenge, blessing, amusement, thrill, and puzzle.
2. What are you thankful that you've never had to experience? The true poverty I've seen both in this country and in others. Not ever knowing that I'd be able to eat tomorrow, or have a safe place to sleep: that would be terrifying in a way that Stephen King never thought of.
3. What do you wish people would be more thankful for? The web of life around them! I hate to think that in another century, the oceans will be barren and the forests will be gone.
4. In real life, who are you most thankful for? Once I would have said my father, and genetically and culturally, still would--he gave me the joy of the world. But in my present life, my sister, who puts up with me in ways no one else ever could. And who was willing to have a shopping cart race, running down the halls of an apartment building yelling at the top of our lungs--we never grow up!
5. Online, who are you most thankful for? Whoa, all of LJ. Every day, it's someone different, but just today, it'skijjohnson who's gonna send me a signed book! And my online students, who amazingly come through with energy and insight.
6. How do you like to show people you are thankful for them or something they have done?I have fantasies of doing great things for them, but actually I at least try to tell them.
7. Mentally or physically, what are you thankful for about yourself? My body that still rises to the occasion! Yoga, kayak, fireworks, lavender bath salts, hot andouille pasta, whatever offers, I can still partake with pleasure. Body, I salute you.
