More Thankfulness

In the interests of not being a churl and grouch, I am going to continue being thankful --
for the sunlight on the red brick buildings across the street,
the National Geographic photo of the day,
the astronomy photo of the day,
a picture of a feathered dinosaur which I saw on Daily Kos this morning,
for the essay I have almost finished, and the other writing I am working on,
for Patrick and our home, full of lovely things to look at,
for friends and relatives,
for our hoya which is about to put out more flowers.
