Things I Don't Have

I know we're going to gather together in a month or so and sit around a table and say why we're grateful for what we have. I've had a week full of unexpected happenings, most of which were not pleasant, and I am compelled to write a list of things I'm grateful I DO NOT have.

• cuts, bruises, sprains, broken bones
• offers to be taken in by lottery scams
• fist fights with siblings (or with anyone else, for that matter)
• headaches and other neurological difficulties
• change of season flu or cold
• trouble with the legal system or police department
• trouble on the job
• big debts
• child custody issues
• a shortage of people who love me

Trying to begin the weekend on a positive note. Hope you can too!
