What are you grateful for right now? Will you remember it by the time you get home from work tonight? Notes on Gratitude is the first collection of musings from a bridgetender who is inclined to ponder life's big and small issues in between opening the drawbridge for boats and barges in Seattle, Washington. Barb Abelhauser posts daily to her blog "The View from a Drawbridge," and has been doing so since December 2012. Her muses are her bridge, her two dogs, and her deep appreciation for being alive.
