Summer Thankfulness - Days 2-6

- Talks with my Mum

- God: the fulfillment of my elusive desire for a "safe place"

- Rest

- Sunshine

- People willing to shoot straight with truth and grace

- Faith in town and good conversations

- How many wonderful people are still in town and getting to spend time with so many of them over the last few days. 

- Sunsets and "growing" smells

- God's provision in daily small ways
