muchos gracias

  • the beloved CUDA disc is safe (it took an unexpected flight from deck 7 and then a swim in the ocean...thankfully 2 workers on the dock came to the rescue!)

  • sitting with eli first thing friday morning

  • delightful stack of pancakes
  • mint chocolate creme covered oreos
  • 2 rips are sewn up
  • playing "shadows over camelot" as a family
  • laughter with friends (as we were spa-ed)(can you really make the word "spa" into a verb? that was part of the reason we were laughing...)
  • jacob's white's arrival!  good timing :)
  • knowing that my heart is fully alive - i wouldn't be so sad (or so joyful)(or both at the same time!) if my heart wasn't fully alive.

  • package of ALL strawberry welch's fruit snacks
  • when a really good song gets stuck in my head
