Gratitude List for 5 ʻAláʼ

Today I am thankful ...
          ...that my Bank of America checking account isn't overdrawn today.
          ...for fresh brewed coffee on the pleasant winter morning.
          ...that I was able to get my hair colored today .
          ...that I have 16,300 points in my YouGov account.
          ...that I have 144 points in my Survey Junkie account.
