Today I'm thinking about how fortunate and thankful I am to have a roof over my head to shelter me from this harsh Australian heat, but I am also thankful for the summer and how it turns the warmer season into a time for gathering with family and friends. Summer brings us together. We endure the heat by spending time on one another's homes and company. So I suppose I am thankful for my home and the respite from the heat and also for the way summer brings us closer together.
