Day 13: Biggest regret

Well, ain't that a humdinger.  I already responded to something similar to this on day 7- so I'll just free write about something else....

I am glad that the days seem too short, with time escaped in to oblivion because it means I have a job.  It may take up most of my day, and finding time to squeeze in the gym, laundry, grocery shopping, a shower, packing a lunch for the following day, returning phone calls and sleep is a tricky business, but I make it work.

I'm glad that paying for gas causes my heart some pain each time I fill up because it means I have a car.

I'm glad that scooping cat poop every other day sometimes makes me gag because it means my cat is healthy...and here, beside me on the couch, curled nose to back foot, wrapped in a cloud of white goodness.

I'm glad that the occasional heated debate takes place in life because it means that myself and others still abide by some fashion of personal passion and truth.

I'm glad to see a stack of bills because it means that I have a roof over my head, heat, light and hot water.

I'm glad that people offend me because it reminds me who I've chosen not to be.

I'm glad that people mock me because it means I have something they do not.

I am glad that my mom and pop's still give me the proverbial slap to the face because it means they still hold me accountable and to standards.

I am glad that a pike of laundry sits, waiting for a wash, because it means that I have a washer and dryer.

I am glad....

timer goes off....
