getting the raspberries

the fruit of my labor;

getting the raspberries today was a sweet treat,

almost as sweet a treat as when a baby gives you the raspberries

and since I don't have any of those around,

I'll smile at and settle for these

learning to be thankful for what God provides in my life

has dramatically decreased my level of discontent and "woe is me" syndrome

(and yes, there are a few strawberries mixed in,

a bonus since I thought they were all gone)
