February 5

After all of the clouds and rain we've had this week, I was more than ready for some sun. And today delivered.

It was a gorgeous, blue-sky Wednesday. It was still cool out, but during my pre-Brady-pickup stroll around the school and my early-afternoon jaunt up and down our street, I soaked in the clarity of the air and the purity of that color. 

I am thankful for the way that the rain washes away impurities and leaves such loveliness in its wake. On days like this, it's a blessing to take those slow, reflective breaths.
