Today I am thankful for the end of a royal weekend.
I wasn't into the royal wedding at all, but I feel as though the media has forced me to absorb every minute of it. I woke up Friday morning right as the wedding was ending, so I watched the last few minutes of that up until the balcony kisses because big expensive ceremonies like that do fascinate me. That was more than enough for me, though, and I am quite ready to turn on the television or open up Yahoo news without seeing anything about William & Kate. Congrats & Best Wishes to them, but it's time to go back to real life. As real as royal can get. :-)

Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
Today I am thankful for chocolate-covered strawberries.
They're one of my favorite things in the world, and a rare treat. We had dinner at my parents' house, and my mom had prepared some strawberries earlier in the afternoon. So yummy! Ryan said I ate them unpolitely (aka without taking tiny bites), but it's hard to do with something that good!

Processes
Today I am thankful for processes.
We spent a lot of time today working through some issues that have been created over the past year at work because we didn't have a process. It made it very clear why having a defined process is essential, as well as made me quite grateful to know that next year we won't have this problem!
On tap for tomorrow? Creating another new process.

Sunshine
Today I am thankful for sunshine.
It was brief. Very brief. But at this point, even a break of green/red/yellow/orange mix on the radar is like seeing the sun come out. More rain to come still, but for a moment, it stopped.

A Lot of Things
Today I am thankful for a lot of things!
While driving home on flooded roads with rain pouring down over me, I decided to use the time to thank God for everything that came to mind rather than working my nerves up over the circumstances. Here's the list as I remember it:
Thank you that this road isn't flooded.
Thank you that I have a job that will let me leave early.
Thank you that Ryan found his way home.
Thank you that the car behind me is okay that I am driving 40mph in a 70mph zone.
Thank you that my windshield wipers are working.
Thank you that is isn't raining as hard as it was earlier.
Thank you that this off-ramp isn't flooded yet.
Thank you that I live in an elevated area.
Thank you that our apartment is on the second floor.
Thank you that my family is safe.
Thank you that I'm almost home.
So about this time, I've reached a place where it looks like I'll make it home without any problems. So, I turned on the radio and heard this:
...it had suddenly become a really awesome worship experience!

A Risen Savior!
Today I am thankful for a risen Savior!
Death could not hold Him. The grave could not keep Him from rising again.
He lives! He lives! Christ Jesus lives today!
How do I know He lives?
He lives within my heart!
