Should I be thankful for this?

I honestly do not know whether I should jot this down. It seems selfish in a way but I am definitely grateful for this. Swine flu has touched base in my College. The College has closed down till the 27th of August. Fear pervades all minds. That my mind is without fear and that I am sitting cosy at home is something I am happy and thankful for this morning.

Life gives us mundane reasons to be grateful for but do we acknowledge them?
