Apparently, it snowed on some people in the Portland area last night. Not on those of us in the Sellwood banana belt, though. It might snow again tonight, and I am working, so I'm hoping to see some amazing snow early in the morning! I love snow. I know that my opinion is not the majority (among adults... I think that most school-going children are with me!), but I can't help it!
So there you go: my bit of joy for you. Other joyful moments today included watching A Charlie Brown Christmas with an 88-year-old and hearing her laugh her way through it, spending time with people and helping out at Forward Edge International, hanging out with my roommate for a while, and eating my new favorite snack: Newman's Own Organic Honey Wheat Mini Pretzels. They are so good! And also they are mini, which is one of my favorite features when it comes to food.
Those are joy-in-the-moment things. I am anticipating some things as well, so those get to count, I think. I'm looking forward to spending time with family. I'm appreciating the peace and hope that are finally taking root a little more in media coverage today. I am grateful for the assurance that God is with me and will never leave me. I have moments of panic, sometimes, where I start to worry about money and the future and life in general. And somehow, in those moments, I am able to take a deep breath ("I am a little seed...") and remember that I have always been taken care of, and that it's not going to change now.
So... random-ish thoughts today. I hope you had some joyful moments (in the present or anticipated) as well!
