Look harder...there are plenty of good things here

Here is my Meyers parrot, Scooby Dooby. I like his eyelashes. He is 14 years old now and is a blessing in my life...even though he has never forgiven me for getting all these other birds after him.

Today wasn't a great day since I didn't get anything on my "to do" list accomplished. There are so many unfinished projects and deadlines and things looming over me. It's much harder to find gratitude on such a day.

However, I am still grateful that I have a comfortable apartment (not luxury by any stretch)even if the neighborhood is a bit seedy (I wonder where that "seedy" expression came from?).

I am grateful I have fresh fruit in the house. Fresh fruit is one of the best things on earth. Isn't God smart?! The fresh blueberries are particularly nice.

I am grateful for big baggy comfortable pajama pants.

I am grateful for cold water with ice.

I am grateful for ponytail holders for my hair.

I am grateful for the friend who called today after not being in touch for a long while.

I am grateful for dental floss after I eat popcorn.

I am grateful for my eye sight.

I am grateful for the ability to pay my rent on time every month....that seems stupid, however, I am always shocked when I get word that a neighbor has not paid their rent. I would rather starve to death than not pay my bills.

I am grateful for the use of my fingers and limbs.

I am grateful for front-loading washing machines at the laundry mat.

I am grateful for the hope of tomorrow and a fresh start each day.
