It's another rainy Monday (now, the song is "Rainy Days and Mondays" with Karen Carpenter's voice in my head) on this "September Morn" (ok, ok, I'll stop with Neil Diamond...).
Really, folks, this is what sleep does to me. I slept most of the weekend (except when the Colts ALMOST pulled it out last night) and now that I'm not so sleep deprived, I feel good (mixing in a little James Brown).
I'm also feeling very grateful... counting my gifts with the gratitude community at Ann's.
Fore these and many other gifts of grace, I am grateful...
