Thankful

I had a chance to watch little bits of American Idol last night and I have to say that it was nice to see a softer side of Simon Cowell. I think he actually HAS a heart!

Watching the various segments on AIDs, Malaria and Poverty, I went to bed with an overwhelming feeling of thankfulness for the basics in life--enough food, clean water, a warm house, and especially incredible medical care. Sure, my kids whine because they don't have the latest "gaming system" but I hope by watching that program they, too, will be a little more grateful for the basics. Jill
