What I Am Grateful For

Having an attitude of gratitude

helps me to have a good attitude

and having a good attitude

keeps up my gratitude!

~~

So what can I say, I am blessed

and you may have guessed

that having the attitude

puts me in a good mood

most days and nights

and when seeing sights

~~

But then, I have a grandchild who loves to travel,

and he is on one of those trips, causing me to unravel.

This morning, I remembered to be grateful for the 20

years of warning, I got while he was growing up. He

is one of those who can travel alone, and in the throes 

of trouble in this country, and others. Makes no difference,

and all he showed was indifference.

~~

He is Russian Orthodox and has some places to visit,

he told me. He couldn't take the time to just sit

in places here in the States. No way, what fun is that?

I may have encouraged travel, as after a chat

I realized I said, it's good to travel before you have a family.

But I meant here, not there. I am always profamily

So, there is gratitude and keeping gratitude as an attitude.

~~

So moving on, I am grateful that winter is nearing the end.

Those flowers will soon be blooming by my house, and

that I will have an end of SAD for another year!

I am grateful for Mother Earth, Father Sky, Nibi/water, and no fear.

All living things, and family, friends, neighbors, their 

families, and partners. I am grateful for the love

of reading, my writing, the success of PaDiF, the help of

others in finding a publisher, and finishing my draft of the book.

All of this and more. And I have started to enjoy my turn to cook.

~~

Hubby makes pizza, egg and cheese sandwiches, and I make

breakfast for dinner. Once in a while, chicken, wild rice soup, and cake

for someone special. I can go on and on, but for now, I will stop

and simply say, I am one grateful woman, and it is time to shop.
