Day 320: Margins

(For Saturday July 12)

I've been grumpy today. Out of sorts. In a funk. Whiny. Complaining. Lacking joy. For sure lacking gratitude.  I can't find an attitude for gratitude today. I want to sleep and watch TV and escape from the realities of life, my life, for a while. And because of my mood today I realized I am grateful for the margin I have each week to be whatever mood I am and hibernate if I need to. Trust me, nobody needs to be around this mood. :) God bless the hub for loving me through it. So I'm grateful for the margin that the weekends provide me for the times when I wake up and find myself grumpy.  What is a margin in your life that you are grateful for?

A dime a dozen

"It's said that in the year 1796, the first U.S. dimes were produced for circulation. Hence, it would make sense for this phrase to originate sometime after." Read more here .  Today the phrase carries the meaning that something is cheap or without value if it can be lumped in with other similar or exactly-like things. It's more of an insult than anything.
