A fascinating Q&A with Johnny—

don’t miss it!

The essence of all beautiful art,

all great art, is gratitude.

— Friedrich Nietzsche

we support you, and
we love you always. ♥

Gratitude

to all who have rekindled me
at different times in my life--

my family,
my dearest friends,
my fellow Johnny fans,
Tara,
Patti,
Johnny,
my children especially,
and Life itself:

all of you continue to show me
in a thousand different ways
that we can dare to dream--
and to do, and to be, and to love--
more
than we might ever
have thought possible.

with gratitude
and love, always,
and with the hope
that I could offer this same gift
in some small way
at times
when it might be needed most.....
