Thursday thanks

This morning while lugging the trash bin to the curb, I stopped to pass the time of day with my neighbor.

A few minutes later, heading down the road with my running shoes on, a fellow runner trotted passed, waved, and yelled (with a wink) "Can't wait for the real hot weather, right?" In the next 30 minutes, I got "good mornings" and friendly waves from half a dozen other runners, dog-walkers, and neighbors in their cars.

So... today I am thankful for small kindnesses. It has been a (surprisingly) difficult transition for me to leave my beloved San Diego home and move to this new place.

The daily dose of neighbor friendliness helps immensely.
