Here's a great question: what are we thankful for? It's a question I'd do well to ask myself more frequently. There's the biggies: a wonderful marriage, an amazing house, two terrific kitties, etc. I'm usually mindful all day of these.
It's the little things I overlook. Case in point: we had a wonderfully wicked thunderstorm that blew through a few hours ago. On top of our hill, we can see the whole show. Tonight we watched the lighting in the distance, with meandering jaggedy spikes, like glass breaking. We watched torrents of rain shooting past our houselights, shifting directions with the wind. We drove down to get our recently emptied recycling bin, lest it blow away into a neighbors yard.
What a trip a summerstorm can be. Easy to forget, but now that I've typed it here, we won't!
