My Bed

 

The Prompt: What is one "background" object in your house that you are grateful for today?

I am grateful for my bed. It's something I take for granted but it is such a relief to flop into it after a long day. I pull the covers all around me - my husband says I "nest" when I sleep - and get warm and comfy. In the mornings I wake up and lie there, thinking, "If I don't move, nothing will hurt," but of course one must get up anyway.

Some people do not have beds. Soldiers sleep on the ground. Homeless people sleep under bridges or in little tents. I am not that tough. I need a nice mattress.

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.
