Grateful

We've had the flu. First Chris, then me. Yesterday Simon had a fever and this afternoon Abigail feels warm. In the midst of achy, coughing, crankiness I didn't write. I was too tired. But I did notice

brilliant blue skies
jacket warm days
sunsets
and standing on the porch watching God paint
his first strings of words
happy birds singing in milder weather
having just enough energy
parents who come visit and give garden advice
naps
The Big Bang Theory
