Day Six: Thanksgiving Week 2018
I am thankful for the moments of each day.
The furry alarm clock waking me up as if we're still on school time this week.
The sun shining in the window--and then shining most of the day.
The anticipation of some rain tonight--I love listening to the rain.
The Last Ride--I am enjoying her though I keep wanting to shift.
Warm toast with a touch of cinnamon for breakfast.
Feeding the birds--face-to-face encounters with the downy woodpeckers, chickadees, nuthatches, and tufted titmice. No fear. It's as if they expect me to "fly away" and not bother them while they eat.
Finding a couple colorful indoor plants for the jungle in front of the doorwindow.
Running into a couple of my former students on the same day. Thank you Ellie Bowers and Courtney Farrell for saying "hi." They are not my "kids" anymore. God has them on the move.
Finishing the last bed make-over for 2018. I made it!!
Great lunch at Corner Bakery--love their BLTs. You should try one. I mean, bacon!
Relaxing moments reading the paper with Homesteader curled up in my lap demanding attention now and then--mostly content to just be relaxing along with the servant.
Vacuuming. Doing dishes while looking out at The Acres through the kitchen window.
Two nice long treks through The Acres.
Not grading papers.

Is it not true, as one of America's poet's has asserted (Lowell), that "there is nothing more extraordinary than the ordinary"? Thank you, Lord, for the majestic ordinary moments of an ordinary day.
