You are all in my thoughts, as you make your way through the day, and then come here to share those right things you accomplished.

You are all in my heart, as I feel warmed and encouraged by you and your actions, and thankful you remind me what goodness is possible in life.

Thank you.

I'm sure I've done at least one thing right most days, though I haven't had the energy to post as much as I'd like. The few posts I make seem to drain me quite a bit.

My mom and I went on our longest walk yet yesterday, in the frigid afternoon hours, through streets crowded with happiness and activity. I had to smile at two little kids wrestling in the snow as we walked by--their exuberance and friendliness were palpable. Again, I really admire the cooperative nature of my fellow urbanites when conditions are less than ideal--pedestrian resources are at a premium with all this unmovable snow, yet everyone shares the limited space in good spirit. I made supper when we got home.

My whole life these days is walking, eating, and shoveling snow...the last of which I did for hours earlier this week. I fear there will be no end to winter, and I used to like this time of year.
