The ABC's of Gratitude

Today's assignment is to write about things you are grateful for in ABC format. I am totally wiped from work and then a class and then homework, so I will just jump right in!

A - Antwon, my brother

B - Books. My favorite way to de-stress, relax and unwind.

C - Coca Cola. My favorite drink, especially since I have food allergies. It is my treat!!

D - D#@!@# - my son, whom I am very grateful for. We are so very, very lucky with him. Wonderful kiddo!

E - Eggs, my favorite allergy friendly weekend breakfast.

F - Family, because after my mom passed away, I feel like it all kind of crumbled away.

G - Grandfather, who was a huge influence in my life and I miss him very much. He was a very unique person. Quiet, strong and funny as hell.

H - Our house, which hubby has worked very hard to maintain for us.

I - ice, which I must have with my coke in the morning.

J - J, my husband, who has saved my life, been my best friend for years and is literally the best husband anyone could ever ask for. Ever.

K - Kisses!! Hubby kisses, kiddo smooches and even wet, sloppy dog kisses.

L - azy days, though I have had too many of them lately.

M - Mom, who I wish was still here so I could tell her...

N - Night, because it is the one time my house is peaceful

O - Ocean, because I find it so relaxing.

P - pool, we built it after my mom passed away and it is beautiful!!!

Q - Quiet, because it so rarely happens. i got to drive home in silence tonight and it was amazing.

R - Romance, because how can you not love it? My hubby makes me feel special quite often, even after 14 years

S - S$#@@# - my daughter, who is teaching me that maybe I'm not completely a tomboy.

T - Teachers, because with them, all things are possible

U - Um. A word I like to count when people are speaking. And it's better than umbrellas

V - Vision, because I am reading a story about Helen Keller with one of my classes and I am grateful that I have such a gift.

W - Water, because it tastes good and swimming in it makes my back feel better.

X - xrays, which sounds cheesy, but turned up just how pronounced my scoliosis really is. I'm glad I know now, even though it scares me.

Y - You - I am very grateful for anyone who has been touched by my writing or teaching

Z - Zen. Balance. Peace. When I have it, I will be damn grateful!

Wow! What an amazing exercise! I am going to do it, too. So inspiring. I miss my Mom, too, and am grateful for all the family I have left.

Thanks for sharing this. It made me smile on a tough day.
