Atheists can count their blessings too

[fredd bear]

I have a dog and a woman who love me, good friends, a steady job, a roof over my head and food on the table (not really, we mostly eat on the couch). I don't spend as much time as I should reflection on how good I have it.

 Living in Oz, the list of things for which I'm grateful is long.

This minute: I'm grateful that it is a beautiful day.

I'm grateful thatI have a comfortable retirement and  my overall health is pretty good. IE right now, nothing is hurting and almost everything still works without chemical assistance.

I am grateful that my 92 year old mum is still here, and with most of her marbles.

I'm grateful that I have three siblings and they are all talking to me.

Mostly, this minute, I'm grateful for my Jack Russell, even though this is the first time I've had a dog who is smarter than me.

I'll post a photo once I work out how.
