even the grackles are pretty in sunlight

Today was nice. A day off (but I work Sunday) visited grandparents enjoyed the fantastic weather in the park then our department at work threw a dinner party - to some that may not sound good but the thing is that I really like the people I work with - so it was a good time.
After a couple of weeks of unseasonable cold - a late frost even - a nice warm day with the sun out was a treat and I was blessed to have the day off to enjoy it.

Daily Examen - things to consider each day

1. Express Gratitude 2. Petition for light (see self & ohters in God's eyes, ask to see the role only I can play) 3. Review the day: look at day's actions, omissions, thoughts & desires what does this tell me aobut myself in relation to self, others, God, the world 4. Lift out something & ask for help 5. look ahead - how do I want to carry on (today - the rest of my life what / who do I want to be master of my life? what are my core values? )
