Gratitude List for 6 Asmá

Today I am thankful ...
          ...that I have 74 points in my Survey Junkie account.
          ...for fresh brewed black coffee on this beautiful summer morning.
          ...that my Bank of America checking account is not overdrawn today.
          ...for the cookie I have to go with my coffee.
          ...that I finished and submitted the spiritual newsletter before I received the final notice.
          ...for the strawberries I had with my breakfast.

Missing Mama1

Some months it's worse than other,
because I can talk to Mom,
but she can't talk to me.

I miss her voice,
I miss her love,
and I mess her encouragement.
