Limas, Snakes & Beeps!

Today's Meditation: Give thanks in all things, even the stuff that is yucky.

Today's Thankfulness: 

Lima beans: I can't stand them. Not only do they taste terrible their texture makes me gag. As a kid I was required to help pick and shell them in our un-airconditioned Virginia home. I am thankful for lima beans because they bring joy to those who like to eat them. I give thanks for picking and shelling them as a kid because they remind me about the environment appreciating home I was raised in.

Snakes: I can't stand them. They freak me out. They are slithery and sneaky. I am thankful for snakes because they are mysterious in the way they get around: no legs or fins or wings. How do they do it?

Beeping alarm clocks: I can't stand them. What an annoying way to start the day. I am a morning person through and through. I do my best work in the morning, I have trouble sleeping past 6:00. I rarely wake up to my alarm. Sometimes in hotel rooms the beeping will go off at a random time, YIKES!  I am thankful for beeping alarm clocks because they are clear in their message, it's time to get up!
