And we’re off

Hard to go charging into a new week when the temps outside reduce movement by 50% because you have to dress in layers looking like the Michelin Man. But off we go anyway. Into the frozen tundra.

So today’s writing prompt was:

The 5 things I’m grateful for today are:

  • I’m grateful my family and friends are healthy. One has the flu but that will pass.
  • I’m grateful my stomach is full and a warm roof is over my head.
  • I’m grateful to know that riches aren’t measured in monetary wealth but in time with special people surrounding you, loving and enjoying each other.
  • I’m grateful to all the professional people that I’ve enjoyed working with in the past and today. Many have mentored me and I hope I’ve given it back to others along the way.
  • I’m grateful my better half said “I Do” a long time ago.

You know, those are the ones I’m grateful for every day. But today specifically I would answer:

  • I’m grateful for the opportunity to possibly work from home for the next 2 years which I sent the forms for today.
  • I’m grateful for the Jimmy Johns #10 which was very tasty and filled me up.
  • I’m grateful I have a space heater in my office on a night when the temps might dip to single digits.
  • I’m grateful yesterdays back pain subsided earlier today.
  • I’m grateful to have a few free moments to do a post and tinker making some large prints for framing.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
