…you have everything you need.

I am grateful for…

…a pleasant surprise in the form of a letter.

…a house, sold.

…the gift of an ordinary day.

…just a closer walk with Thee.

…Barbara Bush.

…free samples at Costco.

…taxes done.

…the beauty of a quiet drive and farmland.

…ellipses.

…a new idea for weekly community dinner around our table, complete with paper towels and conversation.

…a fireplace when the boiler goes out.

…my brother and sister who visit my Dad.

…boxes to unpack.

…new friends who drop by unannounced.

…prayer that is constant inside my head.

…a beautiful Ansyr blanket and a portrait of my grandchildren and I that arrived in the mail.

…Sam, who loves me, tells me so, and shows me constantly.

…for a stressful but wonderful weekend full of news and work and finally, home.
