1. For roses. My two remaining rose bushes continue to bloom in spite of my lack of care, and the second round of blossoms is just beginning now. One bush has red roses, and the other has pink ones. They are such beautiful flowers.

2. For good news from a friend early this morning. She was wonderfully persistent in solving a serious problem yesterday, and I am so proud of her and happy for her and hopeful for her.

3. For good things happening in the life of another friend, and amazing progress that she has made in the past few years.

4. For the opportunity to get together with friends at dinner last night.

5. For feeling tired today. I think it is a tiredness from actively doing so many things this past week, rather than a tiredness from depression or illness (underwork) or exhaustion (overwork).

6. For making progress this week on my finances, and for receiving a supercheer from MamaKitty as a reward, as well as cheers and support from many other 43-T friends. Thanks!

7. For the basics. For food to eat, clean water to drink, clean air to breathe, a roof over my head. In light of the tens and tens of thousands of people in Myanmar and China who have died or who are fighting for survival this week in the wake of huge natural disasters, I have nothing to complain about, and everything to be grateful for.
