I am grateful for feeling the cold air outside this morning. When I walked out the door to go to work there was a slight chill in the air. It reminded me that life itself is not perfect and not always comfortable. Sometimes I need to put a sweater on to keep warm or wear something cooler when it becomes hot. A perfect room temperature is similar to indifference or numbness. It doesn’t have the ability to trigger any of my senses of being cold or hot so it is refreshing to just feel something that makes me react. So I am thankful for the experience of feeling that chill this morning.

I am grateful for the leg cramp that had me jump out of bed at 6am this morning! Okay so maybe the pain itself was not worth being grateful for but it prevented me from continuously hitting the snooze button and so I was able to get an early start on my day.
