Today I am grateful for new things that bring great joy. I am grateful for thunderstorms and bringing in dry laundry off the line before the rain starts. I am grateful for dryers to dry clothes that are still wet in the washing machine. I am grateful for soft puppies and a day happily spend together. I am grateful for relaxing mornings and cuddles with my 5 year old as he slowly wakes up. I am grateful for laughter and gratitude and that I have so many things to be grateful for. Amen.
