I love cutting images out of magazines, much to Lyle's consternation, I'm sure. Today I had a moment of satisfaction when the pair of scissors I was using was so sharp and cut so clean. There's something extremely fascinating about sharp edges. Ah, the potentials...

-for kindness from friends and family and unexpected smiles from strangers
-for the hugs Lyle gave me this morning
-for the dinner Seri made last night and all the dishes she cleaned up that were piling up in the sink
-I can walk
-for my contact lenses that let me to see in focus
-for pictures
-I don't have to go hungry
-for nature
-I've been having less trouble falling asleep lately
-for all the freedom I have
-the world is in color (most of the time anyway)
-chirping birds
-hot water, cold water, having a tap
-shelter
