Today I'm thankful for the dusting of snow that appeared to be a thin blanket from my bedroom window but was in actuality no more than the weight of dandelion wisps.
I'm thankful to do real-people things with friends, like eat meals and run errands. It is nice to feel independent but also not have to do it alone.
I have also been blessed by wonderful friends whose friendship, laughter, and love, are more than enough, so a thank-you card from a dear friend today was just an extra-special warm-and-fuzzy.
I'm thankful for opportunities for fellowship and spiritual growth. We as foolish humans cannot claim to have everything figured out. Science is too great, God is too great, the mind of another human being is too great, all beyond the scope of our meager understanding. So as we humbly take part in what we are called to do on this earth, a mantra that has inspired me tonight is that of a 99-year-old woman highlighted in my home church's newsletter. "Believe the best you can, but live the best you can."
