tell Papa God tenki


  • crystal light lemonade.  i know it's made the list before...but i'm thankful - so it's on the list again.
  • all 5 of us on deck 8
  • delightful evening
  • aletha's email.
  • comfortably cute
  • singing "tell Papa God tenki" -- and finding this fun gem of a blog post from my friend Ali when i googled it to make sure i was spelling it correctly: tell-am-tenki
  • an impromptu picture on the beach that ended up being the avenue for tons of encouraging words


  • caroline's idea/eagerness to rearrange.  it's good to mix it up a bit. 
  • all that nick did to make rearranging possible (and complete)
  • mumford and son's music
  • emma's "performance" of jesus loves the little children
  • chocolate and toffee covered almonds
  • krissy's willingness to share previously mentioned goodness
  • solid night of sleep
  • people who like to ask random questions (i like the questions...and it helps me feel not so strange)
  • lovely time at El Torino with the chaplaincy team


  • the view from the windows of El Torino up the street (maybe i'll go back and take a picture someday)
  • eli's kindness to emma on deck 8
  • how polite emma is when she is sick
  • PJ's willingness to "go to bat" on behalf of the back room of the library
