Things I'm Grateful For #7

I'm not exactly sure what is causing the weeks to feel like they are never ending. I forget what day of the week it actually is. I'm sure that it must be Thursday, but no, it is Tuesday. Things with work feel so busy...so much paperwork, so many kids to see, so many reports to write and hearings to attend. By the time I arrive home I have no energy to do anything. I know I'm not the only one.

As this week was creeping by, I thought how much I have always hated wishing time away.

Though I may be utterly beside myself looking forward to something, I know better than to wish time away. We'll never know just how much time we do have. I try to enjoy each day...somehow :)

We were lucky enough to have rain much of this week. I like rain. I like when it pelts my windows. I like when it dances on the rooftops...especially those made of metal. For me, rain is good.


Here is a shot of the raindrops on my window at work. The drops pattered against the pane of glass most of the day on Wednesday. Rhythmically pattering, musically weaving a sense of peace through my soul...an echo of sanity.

I am very grateful for the rain.



Then...I awoke on Thursday morning to snow! There was quite a dusting of the white stuff on all the outdoor surfaces and it continued to lightly fall. By the time I was mostly ready for work...there were big fluffy flakes falling. When I went to start my wee auto there was over an inch piled atop it. I knew it wouldn't last, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I love driving to work surrounded by snow covered trees and shrubbery. I find the layer of cool snow to be very calming...soothing to my spirit.

I am grateful for the snow.

How about you guys this week? What helped make your week special, or just help you make it through?
