For Today… February 8, 2016 Outside my window…. it’s dark but the first edges of sun are peeping about the horizon. I am thinking… about the myriad things I need to do today. I should work in my bullet journal to straighten out my thoughts. I am thankful… for another year with family and friends…

I’ve quoted it a number of times: twice before on Wednesdays with Words (To Those Ends, Surrender … Take On), just this past Monday on my Daybook, and you can’t forget Instagram where I snapped a pic of the page I was on…
