Giving Thanks In Every Season

by Alison on January 31, 2011

I think it was Thursday.  The sun didn’t exactly shine bright, but the overcast haziness outside was lighter for a while.  There were shadows beneath our trees, shadows that indicate light.  It wasn’t much, but it was enough to lift my spirits for an afternoon. It was my light at the end of the tunnel. The [...]
