Dear Gratitude Journal :

I’m grateful for my tax preparer. You get to know someone whose been doing your taxes for 10+ years, and they certainly know a lot about you. Grateful for her, and grateful to have gotten filed under the deadline. I’m also grateful that I’ve spent most of my professional life working as a consultant. It’s enabled me to view myself impartially and unemotionally as “labor” (or, as I prefer, “talent”), and allows my clients to see me as a partner, not just the “help.” And, I’m grateful for Trader Joe’s – one of the few stores with reasonably sized prepackaged foods.

The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

I spent a good deal of time this weekend working. Working for work; working for me. I’m grateful to be caught up, and grateful for the internet. I’m grateful I can get all my tax stuff on-line now. I suppose the people who are responsible for producing those documents are pretty grateful, too. And, I’m grateful to whomever invented beignets. Who knew that fried dough could be so incredible.

The end.
