Today I'm Grateful for...

The soundtrack to Les Miserables. It speaks to my soul.

The talk "Of things That Matter Most" by President Uchtdorf.
"Yet amidst the multitude of voices and choices, the humble Man of Galilee stands with hands outstretched, waiting. His is a simple message: "Come, follow me." And He does not speak with a powerful megaphone but with a still, small voice. It is so easy for the basic gospel message to get lost amidst the deluge of information that hits us from all sides."

One of my favorite talks ever, "Brightness of Hope", by Elder Maxwell
"Hope helps us walk by faith, not by sight. This can actually be safer. When unaided spiritually, natural sight often shrinks from the odds. It is immobilized by improbabilities. Mauled by his moods and intimidated by his fears, the natural man overreacts to, while hope overrides, the disappointments of the day."

The rainy-ness of today. There's a surrealness, a heaven-and-earth-meeting feeling, when the weather matches your mood.
