This week has been an experience, both good and bad. Still, like all weeks, there are things to be grateful for.
1. My parents are doing okay.
2. I’ve had a few nights of really good sleep.
3. I rediscovered one of my favorite albums by a local band. (In case you’re curious, it’s the Edinboro band “Strangers and Liars.” I hope they go national and get the recognition they deserve.
4. There’s a baby bunny that comes to visit at least once a day.
5. I’m happy that I can breathe.
6. I’m glad I have people whom I can count on.
7. The CBS show “Beyond the Edge” had its season finale. It was awesome.
8. I’ve started to notice and admire song lyrics. They’re all poetry, and this week I’ve really noticed how good they are.
9. I went to a play, “Tony and Tina’s Wedding.” It’s a Broadway play that has made it all the way to Erie. It was so much fun.
10. My best friend mowed the lawn.
11. I got black mulch and put it on my flower beds. I got it all done.
12. I have a fridge full of food.
13. I got to go with my best friend to a banquet. It was really nice to have him bring me along instead of me taking him to so many events.
14. I got to walk back in time, to see a place just like one from my childhood, here in my current city.
15. I am grateful to all of you who read this list. It is my honor that you would take time to read this.
