today i am thankful for lots of things .

the smell of daphne - i snapped a sprig from a bush at the UofW today - it's in my pocket, crushed, but still smelling of spring

my family

my friends

my cats

lil weber charcoal grill and a steak to put on it

the promise of spring

a comfortable bed with a heating pad for my cold feet

dairy products and dark chocolate

converse low-top shoes

the ability to walk as long as i want - walking has been my drug of choice - a good compulsion that clears my head and steadies my hands -

and those are just a few of the things for which i am thankful.

love, christine
