five
I got an e-mail from a friend who asked me if i was still doing 10 grats a day, and I told him I stopped after I got mugged. It felt like a false game to do a grats list, and 10 a day, I dunno. 10 was too much. felt like I was making shit up. I stopped doing grats for months, but I want to take it back up. So, I want to try for 5 a day. I always felt that the first five of the list were more real and important than the last five. Sort of a reverse of a basketball score.
So. My five for today, Saturday, August 28th, 2010:
1. A roof over my head. I have a friend who has been struggling with homelessness for more than a year. Couch surfing here and there, trying to be stable, etc. etc. I am just so grateful to have my home.
2. A job. And all of my clients!!! 7 years of housecleaning. 7 years of paying my bills. I am grateful for having work to do. And for getting paid to do it.
3. Friends who give free haircuts.
4. The scratch-and-dent aisle at the grocery store.
5. Sleep, when I get it.

I think this is an awesome, genuine list.
Gratz x5! I've been wanting to make a list also. 10 always sounded like so much. I'll put up a list later, too. You're inspirational to me, shadeshaman. Always so real!

I'll make that my 1 grat of the day...that I'm glad for you!
