Virtual Vacation1

I'm taking a virtual vacation
across the planet Earth
to see the Baha'i Holy Places and Temples
200 years after The Bab's birth:
My virtual vacation
will begin on March the twenty-first.

Gratitude List For 7 ‘Alá’

Today I am thankful ...
          ...that my Bank of America checking account is not overdrawn today.
          ...for a chocolate doughnut to go with my coffee this morning.
          ...that the money I requested from my Loan Company hit my checking account this morning.
          ...for Gary who woke me up at 6:00 A.M. Pacific Time, knocking on my door, this morning. Because he woke me up I am able to start my day a couple of hours earlier then normal.
          ...that I have 296 points in my Survey Junkie account.
          ...for the tuna on rye sandwich I had for lunch.
          ...that I have 775 points in my Survey Spot account.
          ...for the ginger ale I had with my evening meal.
          ...that I have my next edition of the Spiritual newsletter ready to submit.
