Day 5: I am grateful to live in California (where it was a balmy 76 degrees today).
In detail:
As I was driving to work today, sitting in traffic, I happened to look up and actually SEE how beautiful the world around me is. I feel very privileged to live in an area where on my morning commute I can pass more species of trees than I can name, in a variety of stages (fall colors, bright green, I've even seen some blossoming at odd times of the year).
.
I'm also grateful to live in an area where I can get to the ocean, hills, mountains, lakes, forests and major cities within a couple of hours.
I'll admit a certain amount of envy and wonder at the sheer age and weight of history in Europe. But I also value the newer, rawer history I can find here. And I love even more that I know my family has a piece of it.
