(1) Thanks for the introduction into narrative essays. I ordered one book of J. Didion. Please recommend your favorite essayist. Thanks. I’m reading Margaret Atwood’s memoir; surprisingly written in the old, un-edgy style.
(2) Gratitude for knowledge gathered through one of the oldest resources of information – the newspapers. They’re still relevant, in spite of public opinion, retributory rebuff (rejection to buy physical copies) and falling circulation statistics.
(3) Thanks for the mysterious Hand intervening to allow me sufficient sleep. I hope it lasts.
(4) Gratitude for flexibility in time management, to allow me to do some major cleaning.
(5) Thanks for my old equipment (home projector which downloads from internet) which still works after replacing its remote control. It was a small cost, as compared to the price of the projector. The queue was a short while. Collectors were not made to wait.
(6) Grateful for Advent, the last weeks before Christmas.
(7) Thankful for bloggers sharing their interesting joys.
(8) Gratitude for a cheaper price for some internal painting works. Another two companies were charging between $2500 and $3500 more than the cheaper option. The walls were defaced due to cracks, mirror’s rubbery dried glue, markings & etc. I almost didn’t get this work assigned due to reluctance from their part.
(9) Grateful for the confidence to move ahead with more preparations for a long term project.
(10) Thanks for everyone visiting here. Now its back to you.
