Gratitude can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. It makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. Melody Beattie

Mimi Gerstell: I'm grateful for the life of Phylis Greenfield, a former member of St. Brendan's, who has been a good friend of mine for about 15 years. Phylis is in Richmond with family members, in the wake of several health setbacks. Her future on earth is now expected to be short (days?). I am grateful that I had a nice visit with her in November when she was alert and cheerful. Earlier in life, Phylis was active in pro-democracy movements in several west Asian countries, and here in Maine she founded the Deer Isle duplicate bridge club.
