Very Grateful for

God’s Sun

the boundaries needed to survive a very hot summer

acknowledging the need for protection: sunblock, water, hats, and I even saw someone with a parasol

Amelia’s unexpected visit

getting in a bike ride before sunrise

air conditioning

ceiling fans

the fortitude of the little front porch herb garden

yard sprinklers

ice

The transition from tenseness, self-responsibility, and worry, to equanimity, receptivity, and peace, is the most wonderful of all those shiftings of inner equilibrium, those changes of the personal center of energy, which I have analyzed so often; and the chief wonder of it is that it so often comes about, not by doing, but by simply relaxing and throwing the burden down.  ~ William James
