something I am grateful for today

We're getting our first real snowfall of the season right now. It isn't accumulating on the ground (yet) -- still melting on impact -- but the air is undeniably filled with little white snow thingies.

I'm no great fan of snow, but I appreciate A) that it held off this long rather than hitting us in early October like many other years, and B) that it's a sign that The Circle of Life and all that continues to unfold as it should.

pithy aphorism

I have always believed that learning to question assumptions -- including one's own -- is one of life's most valuable skills.
