Things to be grateful for Poem, by Cheesencrackers, at My poetic side

I curse the door I stub my toe on

I fill with rage when my car won’t start

I hate my ugly yellow lawn

And I don’t like that squeaky shopping cart

I regret setting my alarm to help me be on time

I detest doing difficult housework

And I sigh when I drop my wallet and lose a dime

Oh and the guy who cuts me off in line is a real jerk

Annoyance strikes me when the heater breaks

I’m still on hold with customer service and I’m not happy

I don’t like having to bake birthday cakes

Coworkers make me angry when they’re snappy

Comment from author about the poem: I’m grateful to even have toes to stub. I’m grateful to have a car and a front lawn even though it’s dead. I’m lucky to even be able to go shopping, and that I’m able to earn money from a job. I’m thankful to have coins to lose and a heater. I’m grateful to be able to communicate with people who can help even if they take forever. I’m glad I have people that I can bake cakes for, and I’m grateful for my coworkers no matter how awful they can be. I’m trying to be grateful for misfortune.
