An Ode of Gratitude

Dear music,
Thanks for being uplifting.

Dear patients at work,
Thanks for brushing your teeth.

Dear traffic,
Thanks for only ONE red light on the entire trip home from work today.

Dear sun,
Thanks for shining even while it was raining.

Dear rain,
Thanks for making the grass green and the flowers grow.

Dear clouds,
Thanks for obscuring the mountains for the afternoon; it gave the impression that I was in wide open spaces.  Sometimes you need a little *illusion* to make the horizon brighter. 

Dear sun (again),
Thanks for coming out in full force during my favorite time of day.

Dear roomie,
Thanks for making pesto and sharing it with me.

Dear parking garage,
Thanks for letting me walk from my car to the door without getting rained on.

Dear job,
Thanks for the paycheck.

Dear Spring,
Thank you for existing.

Sincerely,

Danielle

  2. and uh, I just realized that I said pretty much the same thing in my last comment. sooo...let me say something different. Um...I really liked all the little things you pointed out to be grateful for. It made me think of a few...i.e. Dear Voice, thank you for not giving away that you had fallen asleep at work and just gotten woken up by the ringing telephone that was your boss checking up on you.
