I’ve turned the tide from being uncomplaining to being actively grateful.  Today’s top ten list of things for which I am grateful, listed ten through one for fun, but not in reverse order of importance:

10.  Talenti sea salt caramel ice cream.

9.  Unpainted wood finishes.

8.  The new insulation in my attic.

7.  The two people who orchestrated the new insulation in my attic.

6.  Dansko shoes.

5.  Uninterrupted wireless internet.

4.  People who stand outside restaurants in the rain talking to me, and open the door for everyone who comes along without breaking the flow of conversation.

3.  Sterling silver jewelry.

2.  My next-door-neighbors.

and

1.  Last or first depending on your point of view, my loyal readers.

It’s the fifteenth day of the twenty-seventh month of My Year Without Complaining.  I started this day being wary of the ides of March.  It turned out okay for me.  I’m not complaining.  Life continues.
