Grace in Small Things #27

I've been slacking a bit. Felt a little convicted this evening when I saw that my friend Alana had started Grace in Small Things. This is what I'm thankful for:

• I did not get a call for subbing work today. I have a cold and I'd rather not get a call than have to turn down work because I'm sick.
• My cold didn't amount to much. I've been tired, have a sore throat and runny nose but I've had worse. In the past any cold I'd get would kick my butt for weeks. Not sure if all those years working in schools have built up my immune system to colds or if I'm just better at taking it easy.
• Might sound silly but Shopper's optimum points. Just the other week I accumulated enough points that I could get $60 worth of free merchandise. Last month I didn't get many subbing days so I definitely need to use them.
• A cheap place to live. I know I'm 33 year old that lives with my parents but I wouldn't be able to work as a sub if I didn't. Right now I'm getting known within the school division and it will take sometime before I'm working often enough to live on my own.
• Pomegranates are the only reason that I don't gorge myself on Halloween candy. I'm so thankful they are in season right now.
