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 :)

On Saturday, while stuck in a 5-mile long traffic jam on 53 trying to get to my sister's house (brought about by a closure of all lanes of traffic due to airlifting seriously injured people out an accident up ahead), it occurred to me that instead of cursing the traffic I should be grateful that I was not involved!

I'm grateful that in spite of losing his vision, my husband has gotten to see and do so much -- he has seen beautiful artwork in Paris, watched a no-hitter in person and saw his son come into the world. I'm also grateful that my family and I have been blessed wtih jobs and good health and that we love one another. I've learned that the simplicity of being happy together is not as common as I thought, so I am grateful for what I have.
