So much to be thankful for, so little time.

So, I've been a bit lackadaisical lately about this post, and I'll tell you why. First, there's the qualm of whether to be deep, simple, or some whimsical combination thereof. Second, there's the challenge of picking a single topic, when there are any number of things that stir gratitude and joy. Thirdly, I've been really busy spending time with fantabulous people. So, in an effort to catch up to where I am now, I'll forgo any in depth explanation and just list some things that I'm grateful for right this minute as a sit on my brown couch in the air conditioning on a sunny afternoon:
~ my brown couch
~ the aforementioned fantabulous people
~ emotive music
~ mascara
~ Jesus!
~ leftovers - the gift that keeps on giving
~ tildes: the prettiest punctuation
~ digital cameras with instant review capabilities
~ air conditioning
~ nice people at gas stations
~ professional opportunities that come out of nowhere
~ travel...man, just the memories of Italy are like-a mouth-a full-of-a oregano! (that's supposed to read like an Italian accent...picture big hand gestures)
~ paper towels
~ hope and second chances....and third chances, et al
~ cell phones
~ mi familia (love ya!)
~ stories...sigh...all the pretty stories
~ chocolate
~ sunscreen
~ forgiveness
~ bug spray
~ unexpected compliments
~ did I mention chocolate?

Okay, thanks, Jesus for all this and so much more! Love you loads!
