Today I am grateful for the company of friends. I am grateful for fuzzy blankets and fuzzy yarn and pajama pants, for wine and crackers and good movies and talking into the night. I am grateful for electric lights glowing cozy in house windows. I am grateful for the work that has gone into cleaning up our community; signs of the storm are abating.
I am grateful for the clearing skies, for layers of clouds in variegated greys instead of one thick, dismal blanket. I am grateful for the smell of leaves emerging into crispy air as the world begins to dry.
I am grateful for a morning run and a cup of Starbucks and the chance to network and sip coffee and do lunch with a co-worker-- professional development days are a wonderful reprieve! Today was nice, paced right. Home early enough to play with children and clean a little and have friends and pizza too. I am grateful for days that work out this way, that leave me content. That give me something to aspire to, in the midst of other craziness. Today, I had time to really look at people, to notice life and appreciate it, as it happened. I could get used to that.
