Today's Gratitude List

(Continuing Until Thanksgiving)

1. I am grateful I am only continuing these lists until Thanksgiving. While its a good exercise for me, it makes for rather dull blogging.
2. I am grateful to Caitlin for taking me grocery shopping.
3. I am grateful for a surprise letter in the mail from a friend serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
   
4. I am grateful for freezers and microwaves and culinary opportunities they create.
   
5. I am grateful for the campus library.
6. I am grateful for a clean room.

Oh forget gratitude tonight. I'm moody and restless and craving a long drive.

My, my I am being silly. Only three more to go. I would be a ungrateful brat if I couldn't even come up with nine things to be grateful for today, now wouldn't I?

1. I am grateful to a friend for introducing me to Performance Poetry.
2. I am grateful for the opportunity I have to earn a college degree.
3. I am grateful for extended family. 

And now, the picture and quote of the day.

Stocking up the freezer for the Thanksgiving break...

"Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place
I said yep what a concept
I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change."

~ Smash Mouth, "All Star"

 

And yes, I did just quote Smash Mouth. What now?
