Beautiful morning
With an autumn wind blowing
Its sweater weather

Gratitude List for 14 Mashíyyat

Today I am thankful ...
          ...that my Bank of America checking account is not overdrawn today.
          ...for the cinnamon roll I had to go with my coffee this morning.
          ...that I have 580 points in my Survey Junkie account.
          ...for fresh brewed black coffee on this beautiful autumn morning.
          ...that I have $44.82 in my Vindale Research account.
          ...that I have completed 158 of the 200 poem I'm writing to celebrate the Bicentenary of the Birth of the Bab.

Autumn Thoughts1

The chill in the air
reminds me the winter is approaching,
and I wonder when
snow will begin
to cover Mount Charleston.
