Gratitude Journal- Day 9- the Garbage Collectors

Monday is "trash" day in our neighborhood and every week, the trash and recycling trucks dutifully drive by, taking away our refuse and keeping our streets clean.

Ironically, I started watching the movie "Fences" this morning while on the treadmill. In it, Denzel plays a trash collector.

It got me thinking about how much these guys put up with and how it is a job that I personally would rather not have.  Yet, they do their job and make our lives better.

Without them, our neighborhoods would not be as clean and healthy as they are.

So, today, I am grateful for all of the people who pick up our garbage and do their jobs so well.
