I’m good at a lot of things, but I’m grateful for the reminder than there are so many things that I don’t do well. It keeps me focused, and humble. I’m grateful I made sure that everything in my garage is 2″ off the floor. And, I’m grateful for sprinklers.
I’m always happy to see people in love. And, even though I’m not in love today, I’m still grateful to see others enjoying their Valentine’s Day. I’m grateful I finally figured out how to program my sprinklers. Fixing broken sprinklers is the worst; it involves digging, mud, tree roots, getting wet. In the end, you ultimately uncover someone else’s gross incompetence. And, I’m grateful I get paid tomorrow. Much needed.
I awoke this morning very grateful for my small, tidy house and garden. For a good part of my life, I lived paycheck-to-paycheck, without credit, on the edge of homelessness, and dependent on food banks. And, even though I’m successful and self-made now, things could have turned out very differently had I let it. I’m grateful for information on demand. How amazing it is to Google any question you ever had about anything and get a plethora of information about it. And, I’m grateful for my sprinkler system. Even though it’s annoying, it’s a rich-person problem, and I’ll take those over taking the bus any day.
