Counting my blessings

Get on your feet, Homelessness, Motivations, Thursday posts, ,

Here is a short list of things I can be grateful for.

✓ A clean sheet every night*
✓ A clean pillow case every night*
✓ A blanket every night*
✓ A pillow every night*
✓ A hot shower every night
✓ Clean clothes available every day
✓ A good supper every night
✓ Financial resources: At this time, anything I want, I can get.
(Anything I can’t get, I don’t want.)
✓ Moral support from my family, my friends and my church.  A ton of people are pulling for me, hoping for my prosperity.
✓ The best problems in the world. (See next Wednesday’s post.)

*(To my knowledge, no other shelter in Baltimore City provides these things. If you don’t bring your own, you sleep on a bare mat. A change in that situation is something to earnestly hope for.)
