Day 13 - 30 Days of Gratitude: And so it went. Thursday was not a good day. Work was beyond miserable and an afternoon of tears was enough to make me run from school as quickly as I could. I came home to an empty house and just couldn't bring myself to cook or really do anything. After spilling my guts to Mark and a quick trip to the library, we grabbed something to eat. I was ready to settle in for an early evening and then - yup, snow. It was magical! Do you see the snow on my shirt and in my hair? Snow has a way of making everything seem lighter. Snow always lifts my spirits and cleanses my soul. Grateful for that on a day that was really frought with unpleasantness.
