A Beautiful Day

Saturday, a message from a friend. Unexpected, great advice, wisdom, full of care & kindness. A reminder that friendship is an incredible blessing, not to be taken lightly, and true friendship thinks of the other and puts them first even amidst hectic times.

Woke up. Sunshine. Dew on the grass. A bright spirit. A cheerful heart.

New roommate sound asleep downstairs. First time living away from the parents. Vulnerable, excited, timid, secure. Kind, protective, loving, giving.

Parents safely home from New Jersey. Refreshed, Rejuvenated, Inspired.

Drove to work. My car runs. A full tank of gas. Great stereo system. :0)

A great email. Reassurance. Kindness. Confidence.

Today. A great day. Ripe with possibilities. I have much to be thankful for.

So.

Very.

Much.

It's 8am. Work is starting. Fresh faces, refreshed souls, family-filled hearts.

All these blessings. Don't take them for granted.

God provides.

And so I will say it again: I have much to be thankful for.
