“...my
obsession with gratefulness. I can't stop.
Just now, I press the
elevator button and am thankful that it arrives quickly. I get onto the
elevator and am thankful that the elevator cable didn't snap and plummet
me to the basement. I go to the fifth floor and am thankful that I
didn't have to stop on the second or third or fourth floor. I get out
and am thankful that Julie left the door unlocked
so I don't have to rummage for my King Kong key ring. I walk in and am
thankful that Jasper is home and healthy and stuffing his face with
pineapple wedges.
And on and on.
I'm actually muttering to myself,
'Thank you... Thank you.. Thank you...'
It's an odd way to live. But
also kind of great and powerful. I've never before been so aware of the
thousands of little good things, the thousands of things that go right
every day.”
