I am grateful that...
I don't have a house being destroyed in Cuba or Texas.
The office job is not longer than 8 hours per day.
I have the office mates that aren't annoying.
I don't have to worry about chin whiskers.
I don't have to cook dinner tonight.
I don't have an overly needy child.

My friend Katie posted about The Moscow Rules. I had never heard of them.
I like that Murphy's Law is mentioned in the rules.
I never had a slice of bread,
Particularly large and wide,
That did not fall upon the floor,
And always on the buttered side.
