Day 222: Understanding Death + Niece Friend

Today I learned…

…that very small children can understand death as a happy thing.

Today I am thankful for…

…the adorable conversation I had with my 2 year old niece about how Jenn Friedman is HER friend and not MINE. Hahahaha.

Day 213: Aunt Stories + Office

Today I learned...
...that my aunt is always good for a funny story.

Today I am thankful for...
...an office to myself so when I blow my nose 1,000 times a day no one has to see.

Day 173: Hilarity + TV

Today I learned...

...that my mother-in-law is still hilarious.

Today I am thankful for...

...the small tv we had at home that we could install for her at the assisted living facility. Hers broke and she needed a new one, but we had one! 

Day 156: Friend Adventures + GPS

Today I learned...

...that I will meet up with a friend this weekend.

Today I am thankful for...

...my brand new Garmin GPS and the hilarious conversation (by text)

with my best friend that followed its arrival. 

Day 135: Hilarity + Column

Today I learned...

...that when Rick and I are both out of it, things are hilarious.

Today I am thankful for...

...finishing my column for the Lehigh Valley Woman's Journal. I am both happy that it's done and happy for the opportunity. :-)

Day 96: Not Alone + Fun Time

Today I learned...
...that I'm not alone in some of the things I think.

Today I am thankful for...
...a fun time with friends. ;-)

Day 26: Celebrities + Licensure Prep

Today I learned...
...that mooning over an attractive TV star like a 14 year old makes me human. :-) And that mooning over one with a good friend makes it both fun and funny!

Today I am thankful for...
...the big licensure prep manual I received in the mail that will help me study for licensure for my MSW in the next few weeks!

Day 19: Teamwork + Niece Love

Today I learned...
...that the promise of teamwork makes a task seem significantly easier. Something difficult will still be difficult, but working on it with another person is enough to ease my worries and make me feel more confident.

Today I am thankful for...
...speaking to my little niece on the phone. It was her 2nd birthday and she had many things to tell me, some of which included: "I love you, Auntie A," "Uncle Rick is so cute," and "I'm TWO!!!" I also found out that apparently "Uncle Rick is cuter than chocolate milk," which I hear is a pretty big deal.
