Everyday I wake up & i pray on the things that make me grateful. Today, I am grateful for many things. What exactly is that? they are all so random...that is why i make lists:
#1 a late dinner I had with my friend Janae after our prayer group & our little memory of her pushing me in a shopping cart throughout the grocery store
#2 the ability to have recognized an error on a receipt for something that was supposed to be on sale & the appreciation i had for the sales and how big of a shop rite the store was
#3 a fond memory of me and my bangali first grade neighbor dancing with our mini sunglasses while kindly being served Indian food the same night
#4 having the ability to sit still and read english and correct grammar with my foreign neighbor
#5 being able to teach an elderly group of people how to crochet while doing community service & also having been able to teach my other bangali neighbor how to crochet and in a matter of minutes
#6 taking time out of my day to learn my neighbors culture. ASALAM ALAYKUM means hello :)
#7 feeding my fathers pet deer lettuce today & being nearly 10 feet away from them
#8 finding out i still have the seasonal job up the rd from me
#9 having a beautiful artsy decked out apt & having the ability to live alone even though at times it is rough
#10 knowing I have no bad intentions towards anyone ever
#11 having the ability to connect with god and pray
