I am a lucky person and I find I take things for granted. Today I would like to express my gratitude for the simple -yet amazing things.
:: central heating. Amazing I just push a button and voilà heat.
:: refrigerators. So cool my food keeps ages longer with no effort on my part.
:: the Internet. Magic.
:: my ball winder and swift. Perfect!
:: hot water heater. Joy
And so much more not listed. I started thinking about this because the weather has changed. I groan because I'm thrifty and have to turn the heat on and for many reasons even when it's on the house is still cold but still much warmer that outside. This made me really aware of how many luxuries I have in my life that I complain about. I also realized I like to talk about social change and have signed petitions from the comfort of my home and now I need to act. I first thought I would knit things but that still keeps me in my comfort zone. I think better still is giving my time at a food pantry or shelter would be better. I am going to find a place that needs my talents in my community.
