Go NaNoPloblano (National Blog Posting Month) (https://cheerpeppers.wordpress.com/) !  And day 9 of 30 Days of Thankfulness (https://mcclendonvilla.wordpress.com/2016/10/29/30-days-of-thankfulness/).

I’m not going to rehash my feelings from today – I imagine many of you have been feeling the same way.  I am thankful that, for me at least, life goes on and the ordinary has been my anchor today.

The ordinariness of a work meeting with colleagues, and a great conversation that looks like it’s going to lead to a fun project.

The ordinariness of a garden that desperately needs to be cleaned up (I sure hope the long weekend isn’t rainy!)

The ordinariness of kittens wanting to be fed and scratched.

I am finding comfort in these things today, and I hope those ordinary things help others get through all that is happening, and all that will happen over the next while.

May all be well;  may all be happy;  may all be free from suffering.
