I’m grateful that the previous owner installed one of those flexible restaurant faucets in the kitchen. I never had one before, but I’ll always have one now. I’m grateful for a lazy day. I’m not good at doing nothing, but once in a while its good to be a slug, and I’m grateful for texting. Drunk or sober, its nice to know people love you.
Even though I am a little blue, I’m grateful I forced myself to do a lot of work today. I still feel blue, but at least I got a lot done. I’m grateful for my yoga class because it allows me to empty my mind, and I’m grateful that tomorrow is another day.
Winter is gardening season, and I’m grateful for a little good weather so I can continue to refine the vision. I’m grateful for sites like Glassdoor. Companies need to have their references checked, too. And I’m grateful for Cream of Wheat even though I have to eat it more often than I would like.
I’m grateful for dentists and dental hygienists. The world would be a toothless mess without them. I’m grateful I was able to accomplish all my chores and errands on time and without complication, and I’m grateful for people who pick up the check.
I’m grateful that Costco was giving out samples of potato chips. Of course I would never do something as insane as bring home a Costco-size bag of chips, but I was reminded why everyone loves chips. I’m grateful my new glasses are comfortable, and I’m adorable in them, and I’m grateful tomorrow looks to be a rainy day.
Today I’m very grateful for cake. Any idiot can bake bread; cake is an art form. I’m grateful for the spectacular sunset during my drive up the coast, and I’m grateful for medical science. They can’t cure you, but they’re good at finding out what’s wrong.
When old, white, rich Republican men tell me that misogyny is just a “feeling” that women have (when they’re on their periods), I’m grateful that I’m no longer filled with a desire to choke the living shit outta them. Now, I’m filled with a strange, warm, ambivalent sadness for their SAD! cultural precept, Incel status, and gratitude that I date younger men.
Today I’m grateful just to be me. I know I’m too complicated for most people – people like easy – but nothing worthwhile is ever easy. I’m grateful I can sense other people thoughts and energies. And, I’m grateful that my time is billable, especially because my boss’s time is not.
