Comforts to be grateful for

This picture shows Daffy and my friend's husband Paul having a bonding moment. It was an apartment party here a few years ago...and Daffy came, of course. Everyone held Daffy. However, Paul and Daffy had a special connection. Amy, Paul's wife, jokes that Paul is "Mr. Ringneck" since he has a way with that bird species.
If Paul were a super hero...he would be "Ringneck Man."

Some days are just a little harder than others to be sincerely grateful. I need to remember small things that are a blessing...very small things...such as toothpaste, or ice. When I remember my years in Asia where ice and clean water were a luxury
it becomes much easier to be thankful for those creature comforts. In fact, when I got back from each outreach trip away from Hong Kong I would return with overwhelming gratitude for toilets and toilet seats.

At this moment I am grateful for the lamp beside my bed. I am grateful for easy crossword puzzles. I am grateful for the sheets and blankets on my bed. I am grateful for allergy-reducing pillow cases also.
