Pick a color. Got one? Now think of 7 things that color for which you are grateful.
For me: I'm picking brown, inspired by a poem by Jason Poole back in college.
#1 I am grateful for chocolate. Leslie Cardwell and I usually share some dark chocolate as part of our going-to-bed routine, so now I can't think of chocolate without thinking of her.
#2 I am grateful for coffee. Many mornings and nights it gets me going or keeps me going.
#3 I am grateful for the desk chair that has not fallen apart after a few others did.
#4 I am grateful for my wife's eyes. What they see in me I'll never know.
#5 I am grateful for the incense my daughter Reed Cardwell got me for Christmas (not this year). She got me gold-colored duct tape, an incense set, and motor oil (which my van desperately needed about that time) to echo the gold, frankincense and myrrh of the Bible!
#6 I am grateful for Ritz Crackers. (They are a golden brown, right?) From my wife's amazing poppy seed chicken to the crackers, sausage and cheese we have every year at Christmas, Ritz are loved in our household.
#7 I am grateful for the Family Business card game, which comes in a brown box. Don't feel too warm and fuzzy about the game title; it's about organized crime. But it's a game we have owned and played for years, originally with the same Jason Poole from college and his then-girlfriend-now-wife Heather Poole!
