“I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.”
G. K. Chesterton

and before bed...

...Prayer night for a friend donating a kidney...
...DQ night in honor of Kelsey...
...conversation with my aunt Shell...
...Micaiah playing drums with Wes at his school Christmas Chapel...
...seeing Les Mis with my husband...what an incredible story of redemption!
...staying awake for the whole movie...in the past the movie theatre has offered a nice dark, expensive place for a nap but not this time...
