I did not want to get out of bed this morning. I was in a perfect, warm and comfortable spot in bed, so I hit snooze and contemplated taking today off work. It would have been a great day to stay in bed since it was gloomy and rainy again. But I went to work.

I’m thankful that the storms weren’t too bad and didn’t last too long. I’m thankful I made it to the polling place to vote in our local election. And I’m thankful the birthday gift I ordered for my friend finally arrived. It was down to the wire. Although we celebrated last weekend, today is her actual birthday so I’m happy I got to drop off her gift and say happy birthday once more.
