Today I am Thankful...

1. that this is the first of five Thankful Thursday's in August because I can find at least fifty things to give thanks for;
2. that a gentle morning breeze is blowing through the neighbors' oak and olive trees;
3. that the half-broken limb on the pine tree in my front yard did not break off during the night and block my drive way;
4. that there are beautiful while clouds scatter across the sky above Las Vegas this morning;
5. that I remembered to freeze some coffee ice cubes yesterday and I can have a couple of glasses of iced coffee today;
6. that I placed a pitcher of water in the refrigerator yesterday so that I can have cold water today;
7. that the morning sun is shining between the scattered clouds;
8. that I have an area fan which keeps me cool while I am working at the computer;
9. that I woke up in a positive mood this morning rather then being depressed;
10. that I have some oranges to eat for breakfast and lunch.
