I am grateful for the rain, brief though it was.

This post will be brief, in the interest of time and sleep.

I am grateful for sleep, despite not getting enough.  Perhaps because of not getting enough.

I am grateful for blown-clean sky, the sweet-rained air, the puffy clouds, the wheeling hawk, the warming air, the dynamic cloudage that sailed back in and made for a dramatic sunset.

I am grateful for writing…particularly when I have my students doing it…for every period of the day.  Ahhh.
