Grateful Friday

Today I am grateful that I know where all of my immediate family members are and they are healthy and alive and that I can pick up the phone and call them and talk to them if I needed to.

I am grateful that if my family or I want something to drink or eat, I can walk in to my kitchen and open the fridge and ample food and clean water is in there.

I am grateful that I had a warm soft bed and a home to sleep in last night.

I am grateful for all the people-military and civilian-around the world who, in the event of a tragedy, have the training and ability to drop what they are doing and immediately organize rescue and aid efforts.
