I am grateful

It may seem like there is little to be grateful for right now, but if you look closely, you may see that the things you have to be grateful for are still there. Yes, we have to stay at home right now, but I am grateful I have a home to stay in. We can’t see our friends right now, but I am grateful that we have the technology to keep in touch anyway. The couch on the patio is a wonderful place to nap, the flowers are starting to bloom, people check in to make sure I am okay, the people I love are doing well, and I can make a great cup of coffee here at home. I know there are some who are better off than I am, and some who are worse off than I am. Even as I miss what is gone, I am still grateful for what I have.
