Today I am grateful:

1. The duct tape on the skylight means the fix has begun
2. the money will stretch until payday—-yay!
3. for a beautiful egg custard with gruyere
4. to watch Ruby and Grace reunite and  play
5. for an office visit from a friend
6. that I remembered a dream after waking
7. for a dress that now fits that didn’t use to
8. for Quiet and stillness after the storm
9. that God is ever-patient with me

       I am not an optimist, I am a prisoner of hope. ~Desmond Tutu
