The Freelance Writer’s Gratitude Prayer

Dear Lord
Today I have to give thanks for being a freelancer writer.
I am grateful for the ability to earn a living in my underwear without having to take it off.
Not having to get up at 6.30am
Never having to burn myself with an iron again when ironing an impossible- to-iron shirt while I have a hangover first thing in the morning after 4 hours sleep because the game went into extra time along with my occasional mid-week binge drinking habit
Not having to swear at women who are trying to kill me with their cars while putting on their make up using the rear view mirror…in rush hour traffic
I’m grateful for not having to spend all my time in an office with people I despise, doing a job I hate for a moron who doesn’t appreciate how much better than him I really am.
I’m grateful for silent alarm clocks and the noisy bird table outside my home office window.
I’m grateful for long weekends and cheap short haul flights.
I’m grateful for boring meetings (that I no longer have to attend).
I’m grateful for the fact that my industry is growing at close to 40% a year when most others are shrinking faster than a central bankers self confidence.
I’m grateful for my 30 second commute to work and the great food now served there.
I’m grateful for my childcare bill, my commuting bill and my work clothes bill. Long may they hover as low as my stress levels.
I’m grateful for mid morning golf, afternoon workouts and burning the midnight oil at work when I feel inspired.
Last, but not least, I’m grateful for never again having to choose between my child’s soccer game or recital and my next pay check. I’m also grateful for the fact they won’t be crying about my choice 20 years from now on a psychotherapists couch.
What are you grateful for?
