Boomers Gratitude

At the Schaumburg Boomers baseball game on Friday night, I told my nephew I bet I could get two full pages of things I was grateful for. He asked me if I still blogged, so I thought I'd blog about it today, as writing a gratitude list has a tendency to make me feel better about the world in which we live.

I almost did it...

Writing a gratitude list helps me put things into perspective.

I'll add these two to the list:
     No one choked on any food.
     We could all breathe just fine. 

It's the "little things," eh?

    That is impressive that you could get almost two pages of just from this short time. Very generous and appreciative attitude, and I can see why that would make you the world seem better. I love so many sweet specifics on your list, like "No mosquitos" and the little Princess Leia.
