Grateful for this valiant burst of colour outside my front door at sunrise before the clouds set in. Some cheer to begin this day as I anticipate part 2 of the first of two root canal procedures later this afternoon. Oh the joys.
Still, I found myself listing the glad things as I got ready for the day.
For yesterday's walk in the sunshine.
For a good night's sleep.
For today's sunrise.
For a clear morning ahead to finish up what's left of the list.
For vanilla candles to keep me company while I do that.
For a productive week thus far (in case recovery steals Friday).
For the fact that skilled dental care is available to me.
For learning how to make Cao Tom (savoury rice porridge) last time I was in Thailand (thanks Yupa Chaing Mai) because it's easy and delicious and fits the 'soft foods' recommendation.
For the *finally!* planned lunch with a good friend, before the root canal, to help distract me.
For the opportunity this afternoon to lay back, be tended to, and spend some time praying, something I've found helpful and calming to do while undergoing unpleasant medical procedures. I mean, why not? And it can't hurt to be praying for your dentist while he's working on you, right?
So however your day is panning out, hope it brings unexpected joys, opportunities to pray, and something warm and delicious to eat.
