Today, I am grateful that my bf and I didn't have enough money to go down to NYC when we visited New York in September, 2001. We had a two week vacation, and the second week was going to be in NYC, but since we couldn't afford it, we stuck around Rochester. The airports opened back up the day before we left to go back home. The CEO of Thoratec (one of my company's clients at the time) was on Flight 93, and was one of the leaders fighting against the terrorists.

My brother (in-law) John survived the night after two heart attacks following dialysis; he wasn't expected to live. Vitals improve slowly, but he is well enough now to complain. It may or may not get better than this, but he and his family with gifted with another day together.

An answer to a prayer and I cannot be more grateful.

Ch'i

I'd like to meet those people

I'm grateful for self sufficiency.

Meditrina

Tonight I am grateful for my husband (yep, you read that right). He helped me when my son got sick all over his bed tonight.

Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

My brother-in-law has lived another day and his prospects are beginning to improve. My sissy is risking hope again.

It's International Talk Like a Pirate Day and we got a new dishwasher today.

Today, I am grateful that my brother-in-law has been moved from ICU to the heart wing of the hospital.

Today I'm grateful for the nice woman at the bus stop. Not only was she very cute, but she helped me pick up my stuff when my bag flipped upside down and everything went flying. Without her, I would have missed the bus.

It's nice to know that some people are still nice and will even pick up tampons and deodrant that don't belong to them as they roll into the street.

Today, I'm grateful for a slow and easy day. That doesn't happen very often on a Friday and my body couldn't handle one if it was typically busy.
