Gratitudes 2018, Day 64

  1. Scabs. Nature’s Band-Aids. Helps heal damage inflicted on yourself while playing goalie (keeper) in a soccer game.

  2. Yelling “KEEEEEEP!!!” Which is another way of saying “I’M GOING TO CATCH THE SOCCER BALL NOW, SO IF YOU RUN INTO ME, BE READY TO EARN YOURSELF SOME OF NATURE’S BAND-AIDS!!!”

  3. Gloves. More specifically, goalie gloves. The material helps me hold onto the ball and also provides cushioning when it hits my hands really hard.

  4. Dry clothes. There was a pretty good likelihood of rain during the game on Sunday, so packing a bag of dry clothes seemed like a great idea. Change out of wet clothes and into dry ones so I don’t drip all over the floor whenever I enter a building.

  5. A lack of rain. I don’t get wet, I don’t need dry clothes and I don’t end up covered in little rubber bits from the turf that stick to wet surfaces.

  6. Folded clothes. I like clean clothes and folding them makes it easier to put them into my dresser drawers. (However, doing that sometimes means I go to bed very late, so I don’t have time to write gratitudes that night…)
