I'm also grateful that we will finally have furniture tomorrow! Yay for CORT!

Creativity.

Arguments in the early morning that result in us realizing how much we love each other.

good friends.

In about 10 minutes, I will be grateful for the silence as I finally leave the office for the day. A little peace and quiet is definitely needed tonight.

bosses who leave work early, leaving me alone

That no matter how suckky work was, I can recognize how my reactions played a part in it's suckyness, and that I can adjust my reactions as they come.

naps

The kind and thoughtful words, and actions, of people who really care. :)

I am grateful that I didn't get sent to jail, and only had damaged pride.

I'm grateful that my hair is being manageable, that the film in my camera loaded properly, and that my cat is healthy again.

Uh-uh. You are SO not allowed to post that without details.

my father. He is an extraordinary man who trusts me enough to tell me the truth about his health. While it saddens me, I am grateful for the time I have with him.

That I am changing, evolving, growing up.

I'm grateful to our old leasing office.

I didn't write this but it pretty much sums it up for me.


FOR THE TAXES I PAY
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I AM EMPLOYED.



FOR THE MESS TO CLEAN AFTER A PARTY
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE
BEEN SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS.


FOR THE CLOTHES THAT FIT A LITTLE TOO SNUG BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT.



FOR MY SHADOW THAT WATCHES ME WORK
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I AM OUT IN THE SUNSHINE



FOR A LAWN THAT NEEDS MOWING,
WINDOWS THAT NEED CLEANING,
AND GUTTERS THAT NEED FIXING
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE A HOME .


FOR ALL THE COMPLAINING
I HEAR ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT
BECAUSE IT MEANS
WE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH..


FOR THE PARKING SPOT
I FIND AT THE FAR END OF THE PARKING LOT BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM CAPABLE OF WALKING AND I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH TRANSPORTATION.


FOR MY HUGE HEATING BILL
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I AM WARM.




FOR THE PILE OF LAUNDRY
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I HAVE CLOTHES TO WEAR.



FOR WEARINESS AND ACHING MUSCLES
AT THE END OF THE DAY
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE BEEN
CAPABLE OF WORKING HARD.



FOR THE ALARM THAT GOES OFF
IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM ALIVE.


AND FINALLY, FOR TOO MUCH E-MAIL

BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE
FRIENDS WHO ARE THINKING OF ME.
