"She looked at the colored panes.... She moved to the window.
"Through the pink pane the world was roseate below, and warm. The neighborhood, poised like a squalorous avalanche on the brink of a cliff, took on tones of the rose and a sunset.
"She looked through a yellow pane. And the world was the sun, all bright and luminous and fresh.
"She looked through a purple glass. The world was covered with cloud, the world was infected and sick, and people moving in that world were leprous, lost, and abandoned. The houses were black and monstrous. Everything seemed bruised.
"She returned to the yellow pane. The sun was back. The smallest dog looked clever and bright. The dirtiest child looked washed. The rusty houses were seemingly painted afresh."
-Ray Bradbury, "The House"

Thankful for: the marvels of the modern produce industry. Not only do modern shipping methods ensure that all corners of the country are able to eat fresh Florida oranges, California strawberries, and Georgia peaches... but we can eat these fruits out of season. Think about that.
