I'm grateful for this cup of coffee, Bud ransacking the rug (he's having so much fun), and I'm grateful to you, Grama-Herc.

I guess I can even say I'm grateful for the rain we are supposed to have every day for the next 7 days. I've lived in the PNW for 15 years, trained as an Ecologist here, spent many days in the field slogging through the downpours. After all, it is a rainforest...........so I'm determined to not complain. I'm grateful it allows for so much LIFE........no other place I've been has so much green everywhere, the color of growth.
I'm grateful for the rain.
