thankful thursday #62

We've had some sorry weather here in the 'ham this week.

Early Monday morning, around 3:00, I awoke to the warning of weather sirens.  It's shocking I even woke up -- I'm a champ at sleeping through those -- but how sad is it, that I didn't even check the radio or TV for a weather update at that point?

And not just once.  Twice!

As it turned out, another tornado had left a nasty trail in our state.  While colleagues and I traveled to Atlanta for a meeting that morning, and for two more days this week, the rain has poured down by the buckets.

It's been so dreary!

Today while I was fighting with my umbrella all day long, and bemoaning the fate of my poor suede boots (they've told me they don't love the water), how could I not be grateful?

For safety in storms.  For sunshine that eventually comes out again.

I hope the weather in your neck of the woods has been more pleasant than here, but even if you're battling storms, what're you thankful for today?

Go on, be grateful!
