Tonight I am grateful for brilliant sun and cirrus clouds in the shape of boats. I am grateful for dry leaves and playgrounds, for elephants and spider monkeys and the surrealism of jellyfish. I am grateful for friends and for their children, for company to share this gift of a day. I picnicked on sun-warmed stones and rode a tram with delighted children, raked leaves and cleaned the house and played mommy-monster with 5 year olds, and drove around and around town to get an Ivy-girl to sleep. Macaroni and cheese and toddler dance parties to cap off the evening: it was a grand day, wasn't it? And now, Nat is home and the dog is snoring and we are watching Sherlock and I am grateful indeed.
