It’s been a long day. I’m grateful I could be of help to a friend, grateful for a reassuring visit with the ENT, and grateful for going to bed. I’ll be grateful in the morning, assuming I wake up alive, to play with this sleepy girl for a few minutes before I get out of bed. I’m grateful for clean sheets, and cotton blankets, for pillows, a soft and supportive mattress, and a solid foundation. I’m grateful for my bed, which I’m going to go climb into right now with my little dog.
