Tomorrow's Gratitudes Starting Now!

I am grateful: I must start tomorrow’s now! 1. I am alive after that horrendous storm. Many died, I’m so sorry to say. 2. All of my loved ones are alive after that horrendous storm. Many people lost loved ones, I’m so sorry to say. 3. I still have my house. Didn’t lose it in the storm. Many did, I’m so sorry to say. 4. And it didn’t get damaged. No heat, electricity, Internet and TV equals inconvenience but only inconvenience, not structural damage. Many people did have, I’m sorry to say. 5. And I still have my car. S and Jo lost BOTH of theirs in the storm. And others, I’m afraid, as well. 6. I even have gas in it. 7. And only waited on a 30 minute line. 8. And police were at that gas station, keeping everything polite and orderly, thank God. 9. And I got my mother home from the nursing home. 10. And it was NOT torturous for me. 11. And the first aide came and we met her 12. I LOVE her. 13. I think my mom does or will too. 14. And the second one is on her way there now. 15. And I was able to get to the market and get the foods my mother needed. Many stores have many empty shelves. But I got her everything she needed! 16. And then I was able to get my refrig and freezer “filled” with new foods, as all of mine had gone bad. 17. Went shopping, got food, and emptied refrig and freezer of the old! 18. And put in the new. 19. Some is organic. 20. Some is not, but I’m grateful I just went to one supermarket instead of trying Trader Joe’s and my health food store – all that time, and gas, and who even knew what they had. One week or two with less organic won’t kill me! 21. I have fruits. The apples are organic 22. And I have cantaloupe that was not outrageously expensive 23. And 2 key limes 24. And veggies (some organic, frozen) 25. And healthy breads 26. And organic fresh romaine 27. And organic fresh spinach 28. And an onion 29. And a bulb of garlic 30. And non-GMO chocolate soymilk 31. And non-GMO vanilla soymilk 32. And garlic hummus, higher in protein than some of the brands 33. And organic peanut butter 34. And organic grape fruit spread 35. And o.j. with calcium and vitamin D 36. And flavored seltzers – 5 bottles 37. And that my mother’s aide M told me about the supermarket nearest us that did NOT have food. That got me thinking and I was able to plan the other trip. 38. I am so very very grateful for the huge talk L and I had this morning. It was difficult, and I was crying, but he was warm and open and we got through it. And we both want to, and I think will work out our sexual life.
