I'm grateful for the perfect NOLA moment I had earlier today: sitting in Jackson Square amidst the street performers and painters, three kids stood above me on a balcony yelling "We love your city!" Me too, kids, me too.
I'm grateful that tonight I get to sleep in my own bed, next to my husband.
I'm grateful that that same husband got new tires for my car while I was gone.
I'm grateful that the May Queen wants to help me decorate for Christmas, even if that means I have to do things differently to allow her to participate.
I'm grateful I had a frozen lasagna in the freezer.
I'm grateful to be writing this post on my computer, and not my iphone, like I've been doing for the past week.
I'm grateful for the neighbors who helped us move the couch out onto the screened in porch after we discovered the cat had been peeing on it. And I'm grateful that that 5 year warranty we bought 4 1/2 years ago covers cat urine.
I'm not finding much to be grateful about with my cat, though. I guess I am grateful for this exercise in daily gratitude. At the end of a long day when I'm tired and crabby, it's good to sit down and think of things in the day that I AM grateful for. May they outweigh the bad moments in my mind and in my heart.

Terrific thankful post, PM. I had to giggle about the cat...
I got new tires this week, too. Merry Christmas to us!
So great that you have a warranty, but what are you going to do about the cat?
Always more on the gratitude side than the other, BUT, when it comes to peeing cats, well, they're kinda hard to ignore.
Glad most is going well.
