Today I am grateful for doing un-fun grownup chores, summer is here, unexpected free time, air-conditioning at home, work, and in the car, being of service, looking forward to family visits this summer, being prepared, that my journey led me here, women with grace and dignity who are doing things I want to do, summer produce (I love it!), the glory of nature in bloom, lovable pets, learning from books, and ice-cold drinks.
