Gratitude List for 7 Kalimát

Today I am thankful ...
          ...for fresh brewed black coffee on this beautiful summer morning.
          ...that my Bank of America checking account is not overdrawn today.
          ...for chocolate covered doughnut holes to go with my coffee.
          ...that I have 801 points in my Survey Junkie account.
          ...for the Arizona sweet ice tea I had with my lunch.
          ...that I have $25.97 in my Vindale Research account.

Thoughts on Humanity1

Humanity
is a single race,
with it roots in Africa.

We are the children
of migrations
that carried the species
out of Africa
and dispersed it
across Earth.
