Lent--Day 6

Was feeling all blargh, and then realized that's exactly the point of this Lent exercise: to post happy things while feeling blargh. And, truthfully, it was not a bad day, it was actually a good day. Work was fine, I have 109 days left, it was still light-ish outside when I got home (it was never exactly sunny here today, so to say it was "light" would be stretching it), and baseball is currently on my television. So, I guess it's not one thing I'm grateful for today, it's all these things, which is important for me to remember. 

Iceland, Excerpts from the Travel Journal -- Day One: Reykjavik and the Northern Lights

So here we are in Iceland. It's been a long, weird day, the way it always is when you are jetlagged, compounded by the fact that the sun doesn't rise until 9 a.m., which throws off your whole sense of time.
