Today I am grateful for a pot of meat sauce simmering on the stove.  The smell of it always fills me with happiness as it brings back memories of my grandmother and my mother.  I hope that one day my girls will make it themselves and find similar joy in its preparation.

Today I am grateful for our trip to the Philadelphia Zoo on Friday.  I am grateful for the glorious weather we we gifted with and for the fun my children had.  Yes, I have mixed feelings about the sight of animals in cages and in habitats not truly their own.  But, I cannot deny the wonder and joy experienced by all of us at the sight of creatures that we would otherwise never see in person.

Today I am grateful for feeling a little poorly physically yesterday after the activity on Friday.  While chronic pain is never any fun today I am called to find the blessing in it.  My pain levels kept me on the couch for the bulk of the day and allowed me to get my homework done for class Monday night.

Today I am especially grateful for having already done those assignments as it will mean that I can come home after work this evening with nothing hanging over my head.  I can enjoy my TV time with Gamer Dude without any worry about school.

Blessings
