1. Grateful that my foot is feeling much better today. I was bitten by fire ants last Monday evening. It’s amazing how much damage these little tiny animals can quickly do! I’m grateful that the swelling has gone down. I’m grateful for over-the-counter cremes that are helping to stop the itching. I’m grateful to information available on the internet about treating fire ant bites. This is the second time in a month that I’ve been bitten, but this time was worse than the first time.

^{Note to self: Don’t stand outside too long on sidewalks or parking lots with sandals on talking to people.}

2. Grateful for a good sleep last night.

3. Grateful for a pleasant walk this morning.

4. Grateful I had a coupon for a free cup of coffee this morning.

5. Grateful for the new library. It’s really a nice facility.

6. Grateful for supportive communities, including this one on 43-T.
