season of gratitude

Since it's the season for expressing gratitude, something I'm particularly grateful for is that here in Northern California, for the first summer in a long time, we did not experience a major fire. And to be honest, we didn't even have any significant smoke blow in from any other major fires either. I was beginning to think an annual fire was inevitable, but this year was such a welcome break from that trend. We were able to experience beautiful blue skies and sunshine far more than we have in years. And for that I'm massively grateful. What are you grateful for?
