I am a fortunate person who often doesn’t remember that she’s fortunate. And then something (or several things) happen in the course of a day and remind me that I’m a lucky, lucky girl. Today was such a day, so I thought I’d share my gratitude with all of you. Here is what I am grateful for today:
1. When my ex-husband begins yelling about dogs contaminating his home, I can laugh and walk out his front door and let his wife deal with it.
2. When my little Sam runs away, the neighborhood children recognize him, lure him into their trap and return him to his home, thereby eliminating the need for me to go out and search for him.
3. I have a job that I actually love. After 13 1/2 years, I still look forward to going in to work. And considering that CCB is currently very much NOT in love with his job, I think I’m pretty lucky.
4. Someone, somewhere made the incredibly difficult choice to donate their loved one’s organs, and thereby made it possible for a very, very sick young man at my hospital to have his liver. I feared that he would never live long enough to receive the transplant, but yesterday, he went into surgery and today, he has a chance at life. And for that, I am very most grateful.
