In gratitude of the gift of warmth...

[greenpassion]

I am here in Vermont at quarter of 11 at night, having been canceled from my evening shift at work, which wasn't asked for but I am grateful for. And now here I am on my couch , in front of the TV with my two dogs under the comforter with me. I don't watch the news or read the papers. It is too upsetting and there's too much going on in my personal life to deal with that. That said I am not unaware or oblivious of the suffering of those less fortunate than myself. I don't have much but here I am warm. My dogs are loved well fed, and we are all cozy. But my heart reaches out to those who aren't. Who am I to complain when I sit here in the warmth of my house when they're those under cardboard boxes, or even less. There are different definitions of being rich...
