Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings,
thank you Lord,that I can hear.
There are many who are deaf.
Even though I keep my eyes closed against the
morning light as long as possible,
thank you Lord,that I can see.
Many are blind.
Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising,
thank you Lord, that I have the strength to rise.
There are many who are bedridden.
Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost,
toast is burned and tempers are short, my children are so loud
thank you Lord,for my family.
There are many who are lonely.
Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures in magazines
and the menu is at times balanced,
thank you Lord,for the food we have.
There are many who are hungry.
Even though the routine of my job is often monotonous,
thank you Lord,for the opportunity to work.
There are many who have no job.
Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day
and wish my circumstances were not so modest,
thank you Lord,for life.

In March of '99,
I lost my other grandma...
We weren't real close when I was growing up,
but over the last few years
we had gotten a lot closer

The one thing I think i regret the most...
is I never got to tell her I love her
