… and it sure ain't Christmas. First we had "Santarchy" yesterday. Now the blogosphere is swarming over some ridiculous comments a NAACP rep said and that the President ordered phone snooping to counter terrorism. It's dreary in Florida (which isn't right any time of year) and to be quite honest… I woke up a little grumpy.
Why, even as I began thinking about actually posting this, two of my neighbor cats got into a very verbal hissy fit outside my window.
Ahhh…I know what's needed. That tried and true weapon of mass distraction, the ultimate offensive weapon in the war against whining, the big cahuna shield around the heart … the ever trusty GRATITUDE LIST!
I am grateful for …
1. Candles.
2. 3.1 days of music on my iPod
3. Grace to be grumpy
4. Modern renditions of classic hymns
5. The *off* button on the hellivison remote control
6. Friends who love their grumpy friends no matter what level of grumpitude.
7. Memories of beautiful places
8. Cars
9. Pictures of loved ones
10. Christmas is ONE week away!
Bonus number 11 and most important: The Holy Trinity as He smiles over one of His "not as grumpy after this list" children.
So, what are you grateful for?
