8/4/13 Gratitude Journal

I am grateful for a wonderful day yesterday with friends from Arizona and then an evening at a friend’s house watching  Schultze Gets the Blues on their deck over a canyon.  Today I got up late and after yoga and meditation, had coffee and “toad in the hole” “(made with gluten free cinnamon raisin bread and maple syrup) out on the deck with the humming birds, gold finches, and a juvenile oriole who was delightfully clumsy trying to eat from the hummingbird feeders.  I am grateful tonight for warm evenings and solitude.
