The Fragrance of Winter1

Inhale the fragrance of winter,
as the year
and decade draw to a close.

Inhale the crisp air of morning,
proclaiming new opportunities
to anyone
willing to take a chance
on success.

Gratitude List for 15 Masáʼil

Today I am thankful ...

          ...for fresh brewed black coffee on this beautiful winter morning.
          ...that I have 115 points in my Survey Junkie account.
          ...for the brownie I had to go with my coffee.
          ...that I was able to transfer $11.00 from my PayPal account to my checking account.
          ...for the banana I have for my first breakfast.
          ...that my Bank of America checking account is not overdrawn today.
