Grateful for life in September 2008
I want to take time to write about being grateful for everything going on in my life. I am usually grateful for every day that comes along, but verbalizing feelings is something special.
I am grateful for the way I have come to view my work. My job is not that important in the larger scheme of life, but I feel good leaving most days, knowing that I did the best I could. I believe the world will be a better place for what I accomplish each day I work. It took years to arrive at a place of being happy to do my little job every day.
I am grateful for those of you in food service who make my life better. When I buy a cup of coffee, or something to eat, we both are in a unique relationship for those minutes we interact. I appreciate your taking care of me the best you can. Some of you are very good at what you do, and I think it makes my coffee, or meal taste much better because you are happy doing what you do.
I am grateful the new bean and chili crop is here. Living in New Mexico means beans and chili are a staple food. In a few weeks the apple orchards will be harvesting their crop, and I will also have fresh apples to eat.
I am grateful to the folks who make my blog possible. The last programming I was any good at was basic on Radio Shack and Commodore computers. If I had to design my own blogging platform, and themes, I would not be writing this now. I would have given up in frustration. At times as I am update my blog, I think about how creative and talented you coding artists are.
I am grateful that you are taking the time to read what I write. I hope something I write either helps make your life better, gives you a knew perspective, or brings a smile to your face for a moment or two. I know your time is precious, and I try not to waste it by filling space with words. Thank you for your time spent reading. Thank you for sharing what read with your friends, I hope they enjoy it too.
