Wow, these 31 days of a Gratitude List is turning into my ode to being sick, because this cold just won't let go. This weekend the head faucet (i.e. the nose) started running and I just can't get it to turn off. I keep hoping I'm getting better and with my undeserved sense of optimism I keep making myself believe it. "I'm feeling much better! I think I'll go for a walk!" Right after I take a hot bath to warm up ...
So, in honor of my cold, my Gratitude List is NOT related to it:
1) I'm grateful for my oldest son, who is a great young man and makes me proud with every success he achieves. On the flip-side, I roll my eyes at him when he does incredibly stupid stuff, but, as a pre-teen, he just rolls his right back. Even so, I'm very grateful for him.
2) I'm grateful for my daughter, who is a wonderful young woman and makes me proud with every success she achieves. Her good nature and peacemaker attitude keeps her brothers alive, and I'm so very grateful for her.
3) I'm grateful for my youngest son, who is a wonderful young man and makes me proud with every success he achieves. His love of life, curiosity, good-natured boyness, and quickness to laughter is such a delight and I am very grateful for him.
Okay, I realize I'm cheating a little today. 3 kids = 3 items for the Gratitude List. And I realize I said the same thing, really, for all three of them, but isn't it true that I can be grateful for each one of them? They are three of my greatest blessings, and in hindsight, I'm a little surprised it took me 14 days to get to them because, frankly, they belonged on Day 2 right after my wife. Better late than never, I suppose!
