**experiment day 12

I'm grateful for Andrew S. A 6-year-old boy who I interviewed today at work for a big Hollywood project. His sandy hair and sun-kissed skin would never lead you to believe he had cancer from age 2-4. But he's "all better now!!!" When he grows up he wants to "work at a fast-food place" or maybe a "toy store." His mom and I laughed, as I held back tears. He showed me his crocks, shared stories about his crock pins, and we played a sweet game of 'give me five up high down low in the middle too slow.'
He skipped to his car with his Mom as I waterworked it up from afar. I'll probably never see him again but he made my week. A ray of light in an often dark and twisted judgemental world.
Actually, no. He made my year.
**experiment: (v) to see if I can keep head out of the negative toilet for 30 days and post gratitude and you post gratitude back.
I'm grateful for the singular entity of "us" and all the special and wonderful beings that make it up.

I'm grateful for doctors who take good care of my children. Mommas worry about their babies, but the doc we see tomorrow helps me worry much less.

This is kind of an interesting experiment for a professional writer, isn't it? If you are writing jokes for Leno, you can't take a week off because of depression. A self-discipline test.
