grateful, as in things/people for which/whom I am

• Oldest's pal A, who provides guidance and support where I cannot.

• The Spring Project. Keeping K busy to the point of exhaustion. Almost done.

• Pre-made mashed potatoes from the counter at the supermarket.

• Zappos. Getting shoes to the door less than 12 hours after I order them.

• Shoes.

• Seam rippers.

• The under-the-cabinet radio in my kitchen.

• Dr. M.

• My camera.

• The notepad K brought home the other day.
