I vented my spleen out yesterday and it helped a bit, so I thought I would look for some things for which I could be grateful today.

• The existence of Zoom which allows me to work with students remotely and meet with people while there is a prohibition on meetings and such here.
• My house panther who is keeping me entertained.
• My alcohol gel obsession which means that I still have a little bit left.
• Amazon Prime which is helping me keep a little ahead of people’s hoarding habits
• A roof over my head.
• A Lenten diet that actually lends itself pretty well to eating shelf-stable food.
• A boss who works with me to make it possible to deal with Daniel’s issues and work.
• A job I love.
• A church here who is committed to making sure its members can worship and me being able to be part of that.
• The new case on the Skagit County Public Health site is someone who was released from the hospital to isolation at home. It’s someone who is getting *BETTER*. (My theory is that these are workers at affected nursing homes.)
• A stack of books on my e-reader to work through if I’m bored in the next few weeks.
• A beautiful view of Little Mountain and evergreen trees from my bedroom window.
• An amazing publicity and web person to work with on the church website who gives me perspective.
• Last, but not least, knowing WordPress well enough to set things to send comments from trolls into my Trash so that I only see them on the rare occasions I look in there. That way, it’s like they don’t exist unless I give enough of a rat’s butt to look for them, and I can go on with my life without having to care about their commentary.
