It's A Great Day To Be Alive

The sun is shining, the sky is blue, and it is a beautiful winter day.  You're all okay.  I'm okay; everyone in my family who is supposed to be okay is okay; those who aren't okay are doing the best they can.

The marvel that is the human mind created insulation, windows, running water, flushing toilets and reliable furnaces.  My life is so much more comfortable than that of my ancestors a mere three generations back.  It is cold today, and I'm in a warm house that required I do nothing more than click the dial on a thermostat.

I pushed a button on the coffee maker and hot coffee was produced.  I opened the refrigerator and there is food, including fresh fruits and vegetables.  Modernity is a blessing.

My internet friends are on the other end of this electronic gizmo.  What a nice group they are.  It's another day filled with goodness, grace, forgiveness, love, laughter, mercy, kindness and delight.

I think to fully enjoy this day, I'll not complain about anything.  This day is too good to be wasted complaining and whining.
