Dust if you must, but there’s
not much time,
with rivers to swim and
mountains to climb,
music to hear and books to read,
friends to cherish and life to lead.

I am grateful for the masterpiece, the Master’s piece, that awaits just outside the window or the door – fall color that is everywhere I look.

I am grateful that I work in the woods and am privileged enough to enjoy the gorgeous of fall.

I am grateful for those who work for landscape companies, the men and women who work from before the sun until after the sun, in order to care for this Master’s piece.

I am grateful that, as Dad says, “It’s just a game.”

I am grateful for an almost yellow banana this morning. Thank you, Sam. You chose a perfect bunch.

And I am grateful for Bingo day and grateful that I got paid yesterday so that I can go and get Bingo prizes at lunch.
