Gratitude Day 82 - Tongue in Cheek

Dear Friends,
It seems that the mild, sunny long weekend (What a blessing!) did steer some "complainish" feelings in me! I apologise for my “tongue in cheek” gratitude No 82! 
I just have to get it all out before Lent. It’s tough being a middle-age woman with no complaining options for a while!


-I’m grateful to all the drivers who actually saw me crossing the street at the light, and refrained from playing “chicken” or “dare” with me!
-I’m grateful to all the bikers who remained on the road and avoided coming right at me or pedal past me without notice, on a narrow sidewalk!   
-I’m grateful to all the drivers who considered slowing down when they saw a puddle!
-I’m grateful to all the  “couples in-love” who let go of each other’s hand and stepped one in front of the other, to let the “third wheel” roll by!
-I’m grateful to all the dog owners who avoided pushing me off the sidewalk to make space for their “baby!”
I have a "thing" about baby carriages as well, but since I have two little grandchildren, I'm more tolerant of buggies!

Rushing along the path of a middle-age woman without a car or chauffeur in a cosmopolitan city,
-I’m grateful to all TTC commuters who coughed and sneezed in their sleeves. They must have school-age children!   
Done! 
Starting tomorrow I will be - all my colleagues my witnesses - sugar and honey!
Have a sweet day everyone!
