Trying for Gratitude

It's Wednesday. There's a flash flood watch. I've been up since five o'clock and no local topics are leaping out at me. Let's try this gratitude thing again, shall we?

• Parents like Atticus' mom who advocate for children in the school system.
• Continuing progress on the Chrysalis in Merriweather Park/Symphony Woods.
• New Weis Food Market in Oakland Mills.
• Howard County Library's Choose Civility Year of Kindness initiative.
• Columbia's first-place ranking by Money Magazine.

As always, I encourage you to add in your reasons to be grateful in the comments. The more, the merrier.
