I tend to think that kids like me are often way more grateful for even the smallest of things as compared to how most adults usually aren’t. And yes, in case you’re wondering, it’s Andy writing again for Andrew today mostly because he’s been a little Mr. Cranky Pants lately. So I decided it would probably be a good thing to talk about some of the gratitude I have, as hopefully that might help improve some of his mood. So…
I’m grateful to God for my eyesight because I’m able to see all the beauty up in the sky and down here on the Earth.
I’m grateful to God for my ears because I’m able to hear all the noises in nature, including the funny ones animals make like my cat Driggs.
I’m grateful to God for my tongue because I love to taste so many weird combinations of foods like peanut butter and bacon sandwiches and blue cheese dressing on just about everything.
I’m grateful to God for Andrew’s partner Chris because he’s a lot of fun to hang around each time he brings out his little kid.
I’m grateful to God for helping Andrew stop all his addictions because he totally listens to me now when I really have a want or need.
I’m grateful to God for people like Bill Murray, Jim Carey, Ellen DeGeneres and even Andrew’s sponsee George because they each have the gift of making people laugh, which is something I kind of think we all need to do a lot more of in life these days.
I’m grateful to God for my arms and hands because I like using them to play jokes on people such as tapping someone on their opposite shoulder, doing bunny ears over their head, making a circular finger gesture just to see if they stare at it, or even just needling them in their side.
I’m grateful to God for Andrew’s spiritual teacher Manin because she actually was the one who led him to spend more time with me in the first place.
I’m grateful to God for creating ice cream and pizza because I love them so much and I think I could probably eat them every day for the rest of my life.
I’m grateful to God for people like Jym Shipman because he spends a lot of time with his little kid too, which I call Jimmy, and he also creates a pretty cool comic strip named “Diamond In The Rough”.
And…
I’m grateful to God for knowing just how much Andrew Arthur Dawson has healed because there’s only a short time left before we’ll finally be back playing basketball, going bowling, hiking and biking, and doing a lot more fun activities with each other.
Peace, love, light, and joy,
Andrew Arthur Dawson
