Life is not necessarily beautiful, but...

Weather: 25 degrees (feels like 11); mostly clear
Mood: Better
Listening to: Mike's Way-Overdue Birthday Present (Rusted Root at the moment)
Where am I? Work

Some good things that today has brought:

• Sunshine
• Bible study--FOUR good lectionary passages including the Beatitudes and this from Micah:

"...what GOD is looking for in men and women.
It's quite simple:
Do what is fair and just to your neighbor,
be compassionate and loyal in your love,
And don't take yourself too seriously--take God seriously." (via Eugene Peterson)

• Lots of work
• Lovely people who email me thinking I'm an expert on cataloging (with questions I can actually answer)
• Lovely people who say nice things in the comments (which can't be read because haloscan seems to be crashed right now)
• Good mix CDs
• Kind coworkers

All of which boils down to feeling useful, in control, and directed, with a strong dose of healing balm of goodness over it all.
