The small bulb plants are pushing up through the soil. It will be an adventure watching their coming blooming patterns. Just more emphasis that human beings have little control over the scheme of things, perhaps it is better deter- mined by the Creator. The rain is welcome, calming the threat of fires. The sunny days are appreciat- ed by young children who get to be out and about without cautions to stay away from muddy play. During this season we are reminded to be thankful for each thing that comes our way regardless of whether we have control over it. A big chal- lenge! Be careful in all things? That is asking a lot… Becoming thoughtful about what we are thankful for can be the great- est form of therapy for weary minds worn down by the unexpected events that appear. Tehama County.

The fact is that the challenge to be thankful has been around for a long time. I have a strong feeling that the original Native Americans who joined in thankfulness were most thankful for just surviving the rav- ages of a hard passage in a new land with new human contacts. In mod- ern times we tend to overlook the basics and strive for bigger and bet- ter things for which to be thankful. When we are frustrated by our wishes for control and abundance of possessions we overlook the full- ness of each day. Books have It would be great if everyone could enjoy the simple thankfulness a child expresses, could see the shear look of joy when a little one says, "I am thankful for my Daddy." Her face lights up, her eyes shine, her smile extends the full length of her face. The message her body language con- veys can only be under- stood as pure and unadulterated joy and thankfulness of a father who loves her dearly and lets her know he does love her. I am grateful for the young children who present their simple caring, acknowledgement and love for their parents. Carolyn Barber and love of my husband. I am thankful that I have had the experi- ence of being a mother, a grand- mother and even a great grandmoth- er. I am grateful for parents who loved me, extended family of grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends who are as close as fam- ily. I am thankful for the patience It is so welcoming to have the opportunity to work in the teaching profession and also for the wonder- ful training and learning I received from many other jobs I was privi- leged to hold. They were all oppor- tunities for me to continue to be a life long learner. I am thankful for the part of my make-up the Creator gave me to pursue learning. Thankfulness to live in a town where the population is interested in preserving meaningful land- marks of history, such as the memoriam of the Cone- Kimball Building and the years of service it repre- sented to the people of Tehama County. I am thankful that I can still walk the same tree laden streets that I walked as a child. Thankfulness for the daily experience of meet- ing with other people who are caring, compassionate towards others is so rewarding. A person's thankful list can go on and on contain- ing even more personal "thanks." Far too many thank you, com- ments, for one weekly column to contain. I will continue my list in the privacy of my own journal. The challenge for all of us during this season is to look beyond the hustle and bustle of having a perfect fam- ily, a perfect turkey, a perfectly clean house, a perfectly uninter- rupted watching of a ball game, a perfect world, a perfect weather day and to be fully present in each moment so that we don't miss the simple appreciated "thankful com- ments." "yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift; that's why they call it the present." Anonymous Carolyn Barber has been writing her column in the Daily News since 1992.

"She was always knitting caps either for the homeless or for the new- borns at the hospital, or she was crocheting afghans or baby blankets, or she was writing and sending "Thank You" or birthday cards, or she was in her kitchen baking cookies for the Blood Bank or making 36 Lady Prune Cakes for the muse- um, or she was folding newsletters, or she was reading…the list goes on and on." where Ruth volunteered and donated 25 gallons of blood over a lifetime of service; members of the Crippled Children's Soci- ety where Ruth was an active member; members of the Tehama County Genealogical and Histori- cal Society where Ruth was a longtime member and recently was named "Director-Emeritus;" and members of the Tehama County Museum where she was a life member, a longtime member of the Board of Directors and the most experienced member of the Docent staff.

"Volun- teering should be a part of everyone's life because it encourages us to focus on and contribute to meeting the needs of others, and when we become aware of and focus on the needs of others, we tend to become more communi- ty-oriented and less ego- centric.
