Day Two of My Gratefulness Journal 1. I am so happy that I have had pets in my life--from the goofy poodle Zsa Zsa my parents had, to the great kitties that I have now. Nothing beats having little bundles of purring sitting at your feet or curled up in your lap. Gort, Klaatu, Nikkto, Rudy, and Lilly are the wonderful pride of felines of our household, and I am glad they are in my life, fur balls and all. 2. I am grateful for the arts. I love being transported through time as I look at paintings or read novels or listen to all manner of music. The wonderful nature of the human imagination is a very fine gift for which I am most grateful. 3. I am grateful for poetry. I realize it is an art form, and some may say that it is a cheat to mention it as another positive entry, but this art form has often saved my sanity. When I read a poem that speaks to my need, poetry can be life-changing or life-affirming. When I write poems, I am able to make sense of my world through its structures and its devices. Poetry, in many ways, has enriched my life and sometimes made the difficult aspects of life endurable. I am grateful for poetry.
