You will hardly believe your ear, since, as You know, I like to divide my time equally between feeling sorry for myself, and asking You to make things better for me.
But just this once, I'd like to thank You for all those things, beginning with the gift of life itself, You have showered on me for no earthly reason that I can see, except that inexplicably in the face of selfishness and ingratitude of monumental proportions and endurance, You love me.
