This year, my Lenten discipline was to give thanks in all things -- that is, as much as possible given that I'm a flawed human being like everyone else on this planet. So I get through Lent -- and suddenly here I am with hacking and coughing that won't go away, and I'm trying to find a way to be thankful in the midst of this. If I succeed, it will mean I actually learned something during Lent. So here are a few things I'm thankful for -- at least trying to be:
1. Soft Kleenex.
2. My laptop (which I brought right into bed with me to finish my work).
3. An extension of my office phone next to the bed.
4. The time and ability to take as many naps as I need to get through this.
5. Cable TV -- with a remote.
6. A collection of good movies that I don't mind watching over and over.
7. Milenko, Jay and Tabby (our cats) and Cocoa (our dog), because they aren't afraid of catching this so they come and get on the bed to keep me company.
8. Herbal tea.
9. The ease in writing haikus.
Perhaps I'll think of more and give thanks appropriately. In the meantime, the PAD challenge:

April 3 PAD challenge poem: haiku
Giving thanks is hard
when you're under the weather.
Thank God for patience.
