Gratitude

On this overcast, cool, rainy August Monday in Chicago, it seems like the perfect opportunity for me to give myself a little reminder of all I have to be grateful for. So, here is my gratitude list (as of lunchtime today):

• A higher power who is always there for me
• This day
• A good job
• Family I continue to grow closer to
• A dependable car
• A nice apartment
• Food to eat
• Friends I love, and who love me
• The smell of freshly cut grass mixed with rain
• Good health

What are you grateful for today, my online friends?

Green B :)
