Thankful Tuesday

This evening I am thankful for:

1.  Finally, *finally* feeling more at home in our new software system at work.

2.  Delicious feelings of a sense of accomplishment and autonomy.

3.  Kind words from a dear friend.

4.  Quiet time at home with faithful oil lamp companion.

5.  Morning's birdsong and sunshine streaming thru every window!

6.  Beginnings of buds on trees, welcomed harbingers of spring.

7.  A quick meal from the freezer.

8.  An honest, calm conversation about something that hurt my heart and the gift of being able to quietly keep bringing the conversation back to what I needed (simply to be heard).

9.  Still-fresh Valentine's Day roses beautifully unfurling.

10. The Hope and possibility of a new-found home for this parched and searching heart.
