Bonus Round Gratitude

It’s last rose of summer season.

Time to work on gratitude. 

    1. Grateful that I made it to and survived yoga class.
    2. Grateful that Uber got me to yoga on time with no hassle.
    3. Grateful for the 52 Art bus that took me to the dentist
    4. Grateful the dentist and hygienist couldn’t find anything that needed fixing.
    5. Grateful for the Metro buses that delivered me home.
    6. I can’t remember the new route numbers, so I’m really grateful I got on the right ones.
    7. Grateful I can walk up to my apartment when 3 out of 4 elevators are on strike.

    I consider this stage of my life a bonus round. I no longer contribute to society. If the grid fails tomorrow, I’ll not be one of the survivors. I am grateful for today.

    Small pleasures – sitting on a bench, eating a banana on a chilly early autumn afternoon.

    That’s a block from the building Carlton and I lived in for 5 years. It’s right by my dentist. And the building in the photo is an old folks’ home that I would be living in, except it’s a condo. And I don’t do condos. 

    Grateful that I think I can still pull off this ridiculous 17,693-mile, two-month adventure.
