Re-connection

Today I am grateful for:

My committment to get back on track with daily gratitude lists and happy thoughts.

Your lists that I always read. They way they allow me to feel connected to each of you. The way they make me smile and sometimes even laugh out loud. Discovering how much we all have in common.

Watching Sam and his friend Mac play Guitar Hero like they are rock stars. I love the little walk down memory lane with the music from the 70's. Music can take me back in time instantly.

This wonderful idea I had while painting yesterday that Sam and I could spend one month each year in a different foreign city. We could pick a country and spend the school year learning basic language, culture, geography etc..., then top it all off with spending the month of May actually there. At first I thought "that would be cool but it's not possible" then I thought "why not". I feel very inspired by watching each of you take steps out of the box to live life to the fullest and I want to do the same. We have the fabulous freedom of not being tied to traditional school schedules.

Taylor calling so I can talk to Eli on the phone. So silly but I really miss that little lazy butterball.

A wonderful anniversary celebration with Scott on Saturday. Our anniversary is the 27th. Finding out that my anniversary is so close to Amy's. Tiger game, dinner at the Alley Grill and the casino, really my pefect evening.

Winninng 2000 nickels on one roll on the BIG ASS Wheel of Fortune game in the Greektown Casino. As you can tell I am a small time gambler. Being wise enough to stop playing when I got even. Several hours of playing and coming home with the same amount of money we went with.

The amethyst necklace and chocolates Scott gave me.

Scott's excitement about going to a Piston's playoff game last week. He is still buzzing about it. Thanks Adam.

Changing the time on my Seattle tickets so I can attend a party my sister Kim is having on the 9th. The chance to hang out with her for an evening. The fact that she lives an hour and a half closer to the ferry to the San Juans. If I go to her house from the airport my trip to see MJT the next day will be much shorter.

The beautiful picture of Amy's partial brood of amazingly beautiful children.

Blue Skies and sunshine today.

Almost always being the first one up in the morning

Coffee, coffee, coffee

Sushi and Leo for teaching me to love it.

You, you, you my friend and muse, yes, I mean you.


Hugs and kisses
