June 11, 2011-today I am grateful for:

1. Waking up and Feeling the lacey remnant from a nice dream
2. A long stretch
3. Air-conditioning
4. Ceiling fans
5. Quiet
6. Just a short but lingering trace of coolness in the early just-passed-dawn air:  blink and it is gone
7. Ruby’s puppy breath replaced almost immediately with an eagerness to chase the gray cat
8. Hot coffee
9. Sweet strawberries

Build a bridge; make it fancy; and dance over it. ~Catherine Benson
