Today, I am grateful. Period. Things have gotten harder again, and yet I know that this too shall pass. I suppose I ought to call out my gratitude more specifically.

-I am grateful for the gorgeous cool, sunny day we had here yesterday. The sky was so blue, and I actually got chilly when I was out biking! It was wonderful.

-I am grateful that the process server that finally found me was a kind and compassionate individual who stayed and talked to me for a long time after handing me my paperwork. He asked me about my story and listened and was lovely. Who knew that one can find compassion in such a difficult scenario?

-I am grateful for the continued and incredible help and support that my l-friend has given me throughout this legal mess. I don't know how anyone can navigate such a morass without help.
