55 Things to be Grateful for Challenge: My first 30 things

The "55 Things I’m Grateful For" Challenge:

My first 30 listed here:

• Time to pray and reflect before falling asleep
• Freedom to pray, read my Bible and other books of my choice
• As one of my older clients says, “waking up on this side of the dirt!”   Blessings!
• A good nights’ sleep on clean sheets with two pillows
• A good sturdy house with air conditioning
• Steady barometric pressure so my shoulder isn’t sore
• Vitamins, Aleve and Sudafed PE
• A few minutes of quiet time before the busyness of the day
• Being physically and mentally able to perform the busyness of the day
• Hot, fresh, delicious coffee with cream and sugar
• Ezekiel bread toast with deli peanut butter
• A nice kitchen to fix the coffee and peanut butter toast in
• Hand lotion and Q-tips
• Clean, comfortable clothes I like and feel good in
• A recent “good” haircut (sometimes they are not good haircuts!)
• Toothbrush (medium bristles) and toothpaste 
• A clean comb and brush, hair dryer and gel
• Hot shower with soap and shampoo (God please show us more about how to help our homeless friends and neighbors and let us be willing to do it)
• The feel of freshly washed tile floor on my bare feet
• Thinking of a really good friend always willing to make time to listen
• A car that is paid for and runs well
• The car that runs well and has the capacity for many more miles
• Being able to pay for oil changes, new batteries and other maintenance
• The ability and opportunity to earn money to pay for those things
• A job I enjoy and that is fulfilling and hits my “sweet spot”
• Discovering the color “greige” and what I might do with it
• Being able to march in place or briskly walk several miles on any given day 
• Sunshine, blue skies, fresh air, green grass and flowers  
• Dental insurance and overcoming sticker shock on re-treatment of a root canal
• Planning to schedule said root canal next week (blessing in progress)
