I only posted this picture of my new kitten Peanut because of its cavity inducing cuteness. And because everyone loves kittens. It probably won’t have anything to do with the rest of this blog post.

I’m seriously over the heat. It was another hot and humid day where the moment you step outside it feels like you walked into an oven. An oven with no pizza in it.

If my math is accurate, we have exactly two months until the official start of fall. I’m aware that the state of Tennessee won’t see actual fall weather for another month, but at least it won’t be hotter than the outskirts of hell. Hopefully. Fingers crossed.

Anyway, I survived. I didn’t melt like the Wicked Witch in The Wizard of Oz. 

I’m thankful today for Willis Carrier, the inventor of the air conditioner. I’m thankful for family and friends. I’m thankful for my kitten who is easily amused and keeps everyone else highly entertained. Most of all, I’m thankful for my God who is always enough.

Gratitude wins today. I’m choosing to be thankful rather than be bitter and envious. I’m choosing to see how blessed I am and how all that I have is because of the grace of God and nothing else.

Thank you, God, for my life. Forgive me if I don’t love it enough.
