January 12

It didn't rain today. At all.

It's a strange observation from someone who's lived in California (where precipitation is generally scarce) for more than 20 years, but it's true. And I am so thankful.

And I outwardly repeated my thankfulness as the hours ticked by. Every time I went outside or got in the car, I admired the blue sky and the dry street and thanked God for a break from the rain and the cold and the dreariness that's been he norm for the past few weeks.

So yep, today I'm thankful for clearer skies.
