Since my divorce I have created a vast collection of music...none of the ex's musical selections are represented!

I am vegetarian so am grateful I don't have to cook meat for someone else.

I am also very attached to news radio.

So I am grateful for these small pleasures.
That's wonderful. I see gaining gratitude as a gift. By gift I really mean blessings. It's a blessing to feel grateful for what you have.
