Cindy Facebooks: First work phone call of the day featured a voicemail with all the usual stuff, plus this: "Please, let me know one thing that you are grateful for today. I guarantee gratitude will make you smile." So, I said, "I'm grateful that the sun is shining in Spokane and it's not snowing like it was yesterday." And you know what? I AM smiling.

DFO: I just returned from my walk. I got hissed up by a Canada goose, protecting his nesting mate on The Boardwalk bridge, and greeted by Library Director Bette Ammon along Front Avenue. Both made me smile. As did the viewtiful sun warming things up in downtown CdA.

Question: What are you grateful for today?
