In this depressing time - and it's not just the gray cold weather - I'm trying to find and share hopeful, thoughtful things.
From today's email, this thought from national treasure Dolly Parton:
"I make a point to appreciate all the little things in my life, because I learned early that if you don't, you get disappointed a lot. If you do, you might be pleasantly surprised quite often.
I go out and smell the air after a good, hard rain. I re-read passages from my favorite books. I hold the little treasures that somebody special gave me. By keeping my eyes open for unexpected joys, I find the world gives back more than we sometimes think."

What "little things" am I grateful for today?
Well, the sun is shining. My heat is working great. My tropical plants, pining inside by the window during our cold snap, can go play outside again tomorrow. And in the news... well, hum right on past most of the news... but one January 6th insurrectionist has refused her pardon because she now realizes she was wrong.
There are rays of hope.
I'm grateful.
