Things I appreciated this week:

1. The flash of a cardinal in the bare lilac tree.
2. The joy of running into an old friend on the street.
3. The man in the park who warned me about the coming cold snap.
4. The finding of my warmest hat, just in time.
5. The goofy texts from my nephew, and sweet ones from my niece.
6. The comfort of soup as the wind howls outside.

Tiny miracles all around.
