Today I am grateful...

• that I didn't kill Bunny yesterday when I returned and he had attacked and opened a sealed bag of garbage I had left in the can and forgotten to take with me. When I got home he immediately went to his "hiding" place, that little area between the sofa and the bookcase where he can hide his head and think I can't see the rest of him. I let him stand there for a long time while I cleaned up coffee grounds and other grossness. He has overturned small waste cans beside the desk or work table, but this was a first and what a MESS!
• for the eccentric older woman with the most GIGANTIC eyebrows I have ever seen. She put Joan Crawford to shame. I was lucky I was sitting with my back to her because I would have been mesmerized and staring isn't polite.
• that because of my cough I left the meeting early yesterday, just in time
• that I am no longer one of the gray people--those without color. I definitely used to be. Now the only gray is confined to the top of my head.
• that today I am filled with so much that makes me happy that sometimes it is hard to remember those days so dark that I didn't even feel

If you were walking back from a well, carrying a bucket of water and someone jostled you, there could be spilled from the bucket only that which it contained. As you walk along the way of life, people are constantly bumping into you. If your heart is full of ill nature, bad temper, and ugly disposition, only those things will be spilled from it. On the other hand, if it is full of love, you will spill a smile or pleasant remark. You can spill from your bucket only that which it contains. ~Author Unknown
