Day 58

I am thankful for antibiotic ointments that will kill the bacteria in any cut and skin infection.  I don't know how people did it before this was discovered.  Alcohol and Hydrogen Peroxide just don't seem to cut it quite to the extent that this stuff does.

I am thankful for renters insurance.  What a relief it is to know that if there is any fire, theft, or even flood my stuff can be replaced without too much inconvenience.

I am thankful for glue.  Isn't it amazing how much glue is involved in our lives.  We often don't think too much about it until we need it.

I am thankful for batteries.  We depend on them daily.  Nearly everything has a battery.  I walked out into my living room this morning and my clock had died.  What a pain it is to look at the clock and think is that the right time?

I am thankful for clocks.  All of our lives are run by the ticking of a clock in one form or another.  It is a comfort to know that the time is right for all things.  Time is truly the essence of our lives.  It is all that we have when we are born and all that we lose when we die.  

Day 57

I am thankful for the discovery of polenta to my kitchen repertoire.  I didn't realize how filling and versatile this dish could be.  Whether it is for Italian dishes or Mexican  it is amazing.

I am thankful for the facts about nutrition that I have been learning lately.  I have noticed a difference in my health and welfare by cutting out a lot of the servings of the meat that I was eating and increasing my good carbs and vegetables.  In time I hope to see if it will help me run better.

I am thankful for the burst of energy that I find myself with on a daily basis that I get from running.   Exercise used to wear me out.  But when I have changed my diet I feel so much better.

I am thankful for my new work out pants.  I know that with these pants I will run a thousand miles in them.  I am so happy to have started my new life.

I am thankful for pixie haircuts.  It makes my life so much easier now that my hair is so much easier to do.

Day 56

Today I am thankful for bathroom stalls.  I will let you imagine why.

I am thankful for the safe driving of other drivers.  When we all follow the rules of the road it sure makes life a lot easier.

I am thankful for the new breathing device that helps me inhale my albuterol even better.

I am thankful for the Mentalist.  I know that is strange but it is such a fun show to watch.

I am thankful for school buses and the contributions that they make for society.
