Today, I am thankful for these things:
- One last climbing adventure in 2006 (the weather service predicts snow and cold temperatures for the next week - I'll start lifting weights and hitting the heavy bag after my feet recover from today's climbs)
- A "back-to-normal" Post Office. No queue at the self-service kiosk so I finally shipped Christmas gifts to family members in California
- One organic turkey - the last one in the grocery store (last week's storm postponed nearly all deliveries to local markets so we didn't have a special Christmas meal - I'll cook the big bird tomorrow to make up for the leftovers)
- Christmas cards from my cousin, K, and friend, M - they never give up on me even though I don't always reciprocate.
- S's new Osprey Eclipse 42 backpack - this morning, we delayed leaving for Red Rock Canyon so he could make a final bid on Ebay (thank goodness he won). His new pack will complement the red Osprey Aura 35 that Santa brought me.
Amen.
