Gratitude Challenge

Kwizgiver has started a gratitude challenge. I like the idea so I will give it a try. As she states, "The Non-Challenge Gratitude Challenge. This isn't about being perfect. There are no points, no "failing" if you miss a day, and no pressure to perform. It’s just a gentle nudge to look around. I’ll be posting prompts here on the blog, and I’d love for you to join me in the comments--but only if you feel like sharing."

And that's her picture from her blog. I swiped it.

The Prompt: One thing you can hear, and one thing you can touch.

I can hear the rumble of thunder in the distance, even over the sound of the air conditioner. Yes, the air conditioner is running here because it is in the 80s in early April. It should not be that warm, but I accept that I do not run the weather department of the world. I am grateful for the rain (if it comes) and grateful for the air conditioning. I'm also grateful for my ears!

I can touch my glass of water. This is incredibly mundane, but I drink lots of water every day, almost a gallon. The glass gets me out of my chair, and I make many trips to the kitchen for refills (and then to the ladies' room because, well, lots of water). That mundane glass of water gets me up off of my butt and onto my feet at least hourly.
