Things I am grateful for today.
Dec. 26th, 2008 11:17 pm1. When I slipped on the ice this morning, I fell gracefully, and was not injured.
2. When my husband got in an ice-related car accident this morning, he was not injured, the car was not totalled, and my son had just been placed safely in daycare for the day so was not involved in the accident at all.
3. When my 81-year-old father slipped on the ice this morning, he landed reasonably well, and suffered only a twisted ankle
4. When the water from the melting ice started coming into my basement through the wall, it ruined only a couple of replaceable prints, and not any of my signed or antique ones.
Through force of will, this is how I am choosing to see my day, instead of melting into a puddle of woe. Since there are melted puddles enough hereabouts.
