Grateful

It’s easy to find little annoyances that “ruin” our day but honestly it’s just as easy to find gratitude.

I am heading to meet some fellow caregivers at a party. Alzheimer’s Association 6th Annual Caregiver Appreciation Event will be our first in person meet-up. Those of us who’ve been answering writer prompts will also share our pieces with the wider caregiver community.

I am so excited by all of this. Our aide rearranged her schedule so I would be free to go.

More room for gratitude.

I am dressed in a coat that is borderline too warm. This is an annoyance. My solution to drape it over my shoulders worked.

In the spirit of TMI en route to Midtown, I dropped off a urine sample. We’ve been puzzling out Burt’s recent decline. I will be very grateful if this helps.

After trying to get the sample for three days, I was singing the we got a sample song all the way down the avenue.

Traffic! Oh yeah, terrible today so I am grateful I chose to walk.
