I'm grateful for super-duper story ideas.

Cats. They've saved my life, literally, and more than once, in more than one way.

Color vision.

The taste of mocha.

George Gershwin's Concerto in F

The day/night terminator and the fact that I can watch it "happen" almost any day, now, weather permitting.

The fact that I've loved and been loved - and it was real.

My family, my job, my friends, having a comfortable bed, the roof above my head, my clothes, and my body.

I am incredibly grateful to have been born in a time when women could love science and scientists could find such incredible beauty in their actual daily work.

This is from the International Space Station. You will see thunderstorms. You will see the Aurora Borealis. If you're wired like I am, you may very well see the face of God. Watch it full screen, it's better than IMAX.



and another one...

I'm grateful that my family gets along well with each other (even if these days they don't seem to think I'm good for much besides the occasional use as an emotional punching bag - they still get along well with each other, they just don't seem to like me much).

I'm grateful that my parents are still able and willing to take care of me instead of trying to force me into some sort of group home or kick me out to fend for myself when I can't even find a job - they could do that, but they haven't.

I'm grateful that my family has always had enough money to get by with some left over for luxuries.

I'm grateful that I have one place I can truly be myself with minimal objections/punishments (that would be WP).

I'm grateful that at least some people here on WP seem to actually, legitimately care about me.

I'm grateful that my parents let me have a service dog, even if they made me cover most of the cost - Merlin is a huge help to me.
