Grateful | February 24, 2014.

I am Grateful.  

That C's knee surgery this past Monday was successful, and that he is on the [long] road to recovery from an intramural football injury this past fall ;) 

And can I also say that I am grateful that the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics were a safe and athletes-focused Olympics, separate and apart (in keeping with the Olympic spirit) from the overarching politics and problematic civil rights issues.
