Today I am grateful that while kayaking on the Little Manatee River I only "saw" gators sunning on the shore and going into the water. I didn't encounter them any closer. It was a reminder not to hang my foot over the side. I am sincerely grateful I didn't capsize and no one else did either. It was scary. Kayaking was still awesome fun!
Saturday the carpets got cleaned! Now that is a great reason to be thankful and I am.
Tonight I am praying that the storms bashing the midwest ease. I am praying that all in its path remain safe and the destruction small.
