I'm thankful that I can be amused by the fact that the squirrels are eating my crocus bulbs. It's STILL spring, you little piggies! And yet more amused that they seem to have a preference for "blue".
I am ever so thankful that I live in a climate where spring starts in February and goes through May-June. I love it here.
"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
