A Prayer...

Dear God -

Thank you for all of the wonderful things you have allowed me to do and see in my life. Despite occasionally saying otherwise, I really do love my life.

Thank you for the amazing people and influences I have and have had in my life. Please bless those still living as well as those who have passed.

Thank you for the talents you have bestowed upon me. Through writing, I feel like I've honestly touched and inspired others. This leads me to believe that I have been a positive influence within a world that appears to be struggling.

This has been a tough year for a lot of people... with wars, hurricanes and earthquakes, I understand that you have a lot of people vying for your attention.

As such, I will not complain or whine. I will simply ask for one more thing - your help in finding a job.

No, it's a not a request for world peace or other idealogical requests. I just think this one is simpler in comparison, and will allow me a freer range to accomplish great things on this planet.

On that note, I will wrap this up with a final thank you. This one is for all of the angels - living and not - who watch over me and help me.

I appreciate them like all of the other gifts you have given me.
