daily gratitude check

It's a little bit gray, but no rain. Snowing in the passes, though.

I'm grateful for:
1. Body moisturizer after a nice shower, and face cream. Heavenly.
2. Amber alerts. I have no children, but I am so grateful the system works.
3. Non-chlorine bleach. The planet thanks us.

Work that is meaningful, and fruitful.
Unexpected and abundance of goodwill, kindness from people I'll never meet in person though meet in more meaningful way here in MFP to support, embrace, encourage, pick me up when I fall, cheer me on when I rise in small and big ways.

I am grateful Saturday comes at just the right time every week!

cmriverside

No good deed goes unpunished. A beautiful day yesterday, a two mile hike to the Puget Sound, and some great calories burned!

I am grateful today that:

1. I survived my fall into the Sound's 50 degrees water, and the 2 mile walk back to the car
2. I was able to jury-rig a couple shopping bags (thank God I'm "green") and an emergency poncho into a "skirt" to wear back to the car - even though it was 40 degrees out - it was better than my soaked jeans & undies. Plastic Subway bags for socks.
3. I can afford to buy a new camera, which also took a swim:frown:

(the av pic is JUST BEFORE I took my un-planned dip:noway: )
