Grateful for this calm and peaceful day. Sure, I had to nudge that calm and peace along on this particular occasion by staying indoors, avoiding people, and granting myself asylum (no pun intended), but as the late great HST was known to say, "Call on God; but row away from the rocks."
Grateful for my kind and amazing mother-in-law, whose ability to fully embrace the person that I am has only been rivaled by her amazing son's.
That's all right now. But so much.
