gratitudes

So Larry came home from DC the other night and announced he was doing gratitudes every morning. Turns out he saw a PBS special on the brain and learned that the brain is telling us lies most of the time. I've been trying to explain this to him for years, but who cares how he got it, he finally got it! And he's been just the sweetest man in the world ever since.
Okay, it's only been a weekend, and he flew out to San Jose yesterday, so it will be another week before I see him again. But those nightly phone calls will be a little litmus test.
Truth is, he's on an airplane almost every week, so it's understandable that he's cranky a lot of the time. But it's so much more fun to pick up a happy man than a cranky tired one.
Here's the best thing he did. He just opened his arms and gave me a big old hug when I picked him up at the airport on Friday night, after I'd been driving traffic in the pouring rain, had a fender bender with a limo driver who yelled at me even though he hit me, and then missed the exit.
That's all a girl wants when she picks up her beloved at the airport after a journey like that. That's all a girl wants most of the time come to think of it.
What are you grateful for today?
May your life be filled with the Magic Medicine of gratitude every day.
