I had hoped, at least, to get a “Sunday Gratitude” post up on the 19th, but things have been so crazy busy that it wasn’t really possible.
I am incredibly grateful to have been able to get away for a few days, to have friends who don’t mind if I say – “I’m thinking of coming over, do you mind having me?” and it being no problem. Friends like family.
I am grateful to God for seeming to help get all the pieces of the trip together – there are so many things that could have derailed it, and yet everything seemed to fall into place.
I am grateful that even though the car had an issue this week, it still runs, and I was able to take it to the dealer, since the issue is still under warranty.
So grateful for good neighbors…
I’m grateful for the spring coming, even as the world is once again covered in white. I’m grateful that even with what – seven inches or so last weekend – I’ve not had to shovel a bit because it’s melting like crazy, and the sound of the water rushing off the roof and the eaves reminds me of the scene in “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” when the children know for certain that the Witch’s spell has broken because at this point, spring can’t be stopped.
I am also very grateful that I was able to rescue pretty much everything from an SD card that malfunctioned while I was away. I’m not great with the Ubuntu Linux system on my computer yet, but I was very thankful that the card that would no longer read could be rescued.

As always, I am grateful for each one of you reading, and for your prayers.
