I'm sitting next to the window with the white blinds almost closed. There must be a big tree right outside the window, blocking the sunlight, because it's fairly shaded.
When the wind blows (the wind has been having tons of fun today), it moves the branches out of the way and, to someone typing away at her computer next to the window, creates the same effect as a bright bolt of lightning -- in the middle of a sunny day.

63 years later
I received this in an email today. Thought I'd share.
[EDIT: click on the image to see it full-size.]
It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians and 1,900 Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated with the German and Russian Peoples looking the other way!
Now, more than ever, with Iraq, Iran, and others, claiming the Holocaust to be 'a myth', it's imperative to make sure the world never forgets, because there are others who would like to do it again.
This e-mail is intended to reach 40 million people worldwide!
Join us and be a link in the memorial chain and help us distribute it around the world .
Please send this e-mail to 10 people you know and ask them to continue the memorial chain .
Please don't just delete it .
It will only take you a minute to pass this along . Thanks!

Thankful Thursday
Today I'm thankful for:
- my husband, who worries about me and gently nudges me to do what I need to do, get done what I need to get done, and take care of myself (eat, get enough sleep, all those little things).
- finding the Spanish pop radio station this morning, which was playing 10,000 songs with no commercials (I spent a bit of time in traffic today, so this was especially nice).
- the job interview I had Tuesday, and feeling I did a good job at the interview.
- a generous mother-in-law with a beautiful, big house, who welcomes us with open arms when we break our house and need a place to stay. (We broke the hot water pipe. Plumber is coming tomorrow to assess the damage. We broke the A/C in August -- yes, in August, in Texas -- and she let us crash here then, too.)
- my prayer journal.
- Google Reader and Twitter, and the writers and agents I can now e-stalk (and learn from).
