Today I was glad for:
The return of, and a brief friendly conversation with, the polite woman who visits the neighborhood sometimes on Saturdays dispensing Watchtowers and offering a verse or two to ponder. Today it was Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths."
A good phone conversation with a friend.
The gratuitous kindness of the woman in the SUV who had the right-of-way but waved me on in front of her, and waved more vigorously to make sure I understood.
The life of my esterina cherry tomato plant, which gave me and my garden buddy hundreds of fruits this year, maybe a thousand; and for the good physical work of tearing spent plants out of the garden to make room for some fall crops; and for the delicate work of making furrows and burying tiny seeds and believing that they will come up.
For whatever I have in my life that other people wish they had in theirs, which I might take so much for granted that it never occurs to me to be thankful for it. Like the deep quiet of my home.
How was your day?
