Today is Thankful Thursday

Istijlál (Majesty), 6 Mulk (Dominion), 166 BE – Thursday, February 12, 2009 about 7:04 AM Pacific Time

The concept behind Thankful Thursdays is that, no matter how difficult life is at the moment, a person can find at least ten things to be thankful for once week. So today I am thankful for

Having enough coffee and paper filters in the house to make several pots of coffee today

That my bank account is not overdrawn at 7:04 this morning

The beautiful white and gray winter rain clouds I can see out of my kitchen window

There is no morning breeze moving the limbs of the stone pine tree in front of the house

I got up before dawn and could watch the southwest sky lighten with the approach of sunrise

Wednesday was trash pick up day and all four the trashcans in the garage were emptied

Friday is the first Friday the thirteenth in 2009 and therefore is Blame Someone Else day

I found my green prayer beads laying on the coffee table last night

We were able to pay the entire power bill this month, which was under $300.00

I decided not to attempt to sell the computer this month
