Living one winter in Grand Rapids taught me an important lesson. I don't appreciate the simple things in life until they are gone. The sun did not shine for the whole winter, and I missed it terribly. There is something about basking in the sun's rays that is luxuriant and indulgent, and I don't want to let today pass without thanking God for a beautiful open the windows kind of day.
On a more trivial note, good fortune shone on me yesterday. I drew the best number during a "dirty Santa" gift exchange, and I walked away with the best present there. It will be in my son's Christmas stocking. I almost feel guilty. :)
