There is a tendency to say no one reads the gratitude lists on the weekends but then you say Why am I writing them? Is it for you or me? It is for me I am a happily singing bird or a rose bursting into bloom I can’t hold back. Am I any less  grateful than all of creation?

Finding that you have a lot in  common with someone’s list. Grateful hearts unify us.

Finding one can of cat food when there are hungry cats

Shows that make you laugh. Movies that make you cry.

Interesting fact men could buy ready to wear clothing by 1900 but women continued to make theirs and their children’s. SO grateful I don’t have to  make my clothes.

Learning lines for the play  My first line is “One died in a brawl” We laughed till we cried because son thought it was he died in a bra. Grateful for laughter and lightheartedness.

I am grateful to have overcome some things I dreaded this week. I was grateful .I am grateful! I will be grateful! More grateful!
