Today I am grateful for:
- The healing effects of time. No emotion can sustain its height for long, and clarity always comes with the morning’s light. Your greatest fears and worst-case scenarios are never so terrifying as they first appear. Love, righteousness, and good-intention will always outlast failures of character and heart.
- Coffee, my old friend. I haven’t had it in weeks, but today felt like a good day to try again. I’m not sure how much the caffeine helped or hurt, but the taste was almost magical and greatly missed.
- Gossip. It’s more often than not a bad thing I know, but you can’t deny the bonding effect that the passing of secrets and stories about others can have between a few close friends. I don’t do it often, but like everyone, I indulge and enjoy it occasionally.
