Gratitude List for 11 Qawl

Today I am thankful ...
          ...that my Bank of America checking account is not overdrawn today.
          ...for fresh brewed coffee on this beautiful autumn morning.
          ...that I was able to pay the rent today.
          ...that I have 789 points in my Survey Junkie account.

Coffee Poem1

Steam rises from the ebony surface
warming my hands and face.

Hot liquid descends my throat
Heating my cold body from within.

Soon the central air will come on
warming the ho use,
but for now only the hot Colombian blend
comes between me and glaciation.
