mdlbear | Thankful Thursday

So this is my first gratitude post of 2019. That ought to be good for something, but I'm not sure what.

I'm grateful to the universe that I'm still alive.
I'm grateful to 2018, mainly for being over. Not much else.
I'm grateful to Colleen, my wife of 43 (as of today) years, for not murdering me. (I'm pretty sure she's thought about it.)
I'm grateful that today's windstorm seems to have abated without causing a power outage.
I'm grateful to our cats for being patient with my rather meager grasp of their language.
