I love this gratitude list. There are a lot of things in this world to be grateful for. I think you picked some of the top ones for me. I would have added family and friends in there somewhere. The world would be awfully lonely without them. I also would have added in being thankful for writing.com. then again you sort of added that one in by way of contests to enter. It is a neat little poem it flows together well. I hope you win the contest. I have not read any of the other entries but I think you have a pretty good chance. I think my favorite part is cats to chase. I have cats I do end up chasing them a lot. I might have worded it cats to herd. It references the difficulty of wrangling them a bit better than just chasing them, but like I said it was my favorite line so it works pretty well as it is. I like the priority levevel of cats to chase implied by its high placement in the list, by food, shelter and modern conveniences like electricity and water. I also admire the fact that you can be thankful for nanowrimo in the middle of the stress of it.
