Today I am grateful for...

• judgment – not as in “using good judgment” but rather, my inclination to unfairly judge others and myself. Created by me as an excellent defense mechanism, it now makes me feel icky, therefore I am entirely ready for God to remove my instinct to be so judgmental.
• apple seeds – some people leave them in the sink, some people rinse them out. Who am I to say which of us is better for it?
• living and letting live – which not only works in reference to people, but cats with eating disorders and barking dogs, too.
• acceptance – if God sees fit, I hope that God will fill up the formerly judgey bits of me with tolerance and patience and genuine acceptance of as many people, places and things as I can stand.
• Axl Rose – for providing me a second version of Paul McCartney’s “Live and Let Die” to loop through my head after typing that little slogan above.
