What's Eating Cale

GRATEFULNESS

• I am grateful for the first day of the work week being Tuesday
• I am grateful for a good weekend – I missed the mark on a few things, but – if we did all that we did in an unplanned weekend – it would have been considered a damn fine weekend
• I am grateful a working lawnmower – the grass is looking great but it is growing so fast
