good day

My grandpa used to say Any day I don't see my name in the obituary column is a good day!

Today, as I was waking up, my first conscious thought was gratitude for being alive another day. I can't remember that ever happening before, and I loved it. So now I'm on a gratitude roll.

Top 5 things I appreciate so far today:

1) Flannel sheets (the nights are getting chilly)
2) Sunshine (unconditionally beaming warmth, light, and energy into my life)
3) The internet (I can learn anything I want any time)
4) Reconnecting with old friends (it's so cool to see what changes over time and what doesn't)
5) School buses (I don't have to go out in the morning chill to drive to school!)
