Why I am grateful today

Why I am grateful today:

I am grateful for the sunlight streaming in my window,

for being able to hear music and the cat's meow,

for having two legs that work and being able to walk,

I am grateful my electricity is still on though I am late on the bill,

I am grateful I am not in Aleppo,

for being on the green side of the grass,

for being able to write words with my keyboard,

I am grateful that company is coming for the holidays this week,

I am grateful for the good health of my family,

I am happy to feel the cold air and winter will dress the earth in white snow again,

I am happy that I have projects and plans ahead of me,

I am grateful for understanding how fake news works on the internet,

I am grateful that at least half of America is happy, though maybe for a little while,

I am happy for being free of pain and able to breathe air,

I am happy I do not have to be anywhere today,

I am grateful for being whole-hearted and at peace in my head,

for being in touch with my brothers,

for being out of touch with my enemies,

for being hungry,

for being.
