Dear Gratitude Journal  :

Despite the official arrival of Autumn, I’m grateful for a few more warm days of pool time. I’m grateful for apples and peanut butter. An excellent taste invention. And, I’m grateful for Trader Joe’s. Isn’t everyone?

The end.

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.
