Friday Poem and Gratitude List

Istiqlál (Independence), 8 Bahá (Splendor) 177 B.E. Friday, March 27, 2020

Stay at Home1

Stay at home
out of the crowds,
stay healthy
and don't bitch or groan.

Stay at home
until this health crisis passes,
and when it does
go to a movie,
out to eat,
or for a walk
around the block.

Stay at home
and work online,
or pick up the telephone
and call a friend.

Gratitude List for 8 Baha

Today I am thankful ...
          ...for fresh brewed coffee on this beautiful spring morning.
          ...that I was able to get a ride from RCT Paratransit through MTM for Monday, March 30. Pick up time from home is between 6:58-7:25 a.m. and from Quest between 9:30-10:00 a.m.
          ...for the doughnut holes I had with my coffee.
          ...that my Bank of America checking account isn't overdrawn today.
          ...for the good nights sleep I got last night.
          ...that I have 1,085,062 GPs in my Gift Points account.
          ...for the merit badges I received today.
