Today is the first day of spring. I'm grateful for seasons. Colorado admittedly has 2 real seasons and 2 mini ones but there is still a distinction. And I'm grateful for them because they help mark the passing of time. They give me a measure of time to go by so that if I am looking forward to an event that happens in a certain season I can judge the time correctly.

How boring! I wouldn't like that at all so today, as it is the first official day of spring (whatever that means - haha), I am grateful for seasons.

Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well. I remember doing worksheets and class lessons on maps and I was able to skate by ...
