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 146: Dress Shopping + Picnic

Today I learned...
...that Alicia has very good luck dress shopping in PA!

Today I am thankful for...
...a family picnic with my friend, my family, and entertainment from my niece!

Day 132: Gifts + Mother's Day

Today I learned...
...that Rick will benefit from some of the graduation gifts I received from others. Thank you!

Today I am thankful for...
...time with my mom, my other mom (mom's best friend), and my nieces. That's what Mother's Day is all about: being with the 2 people who are mothers to me and being with the 2 little girls who make Mother's Day less painful because I can't have children of my own.

 

{and of course, my fur kids...Tumbler + Juice}

Day 90: Home + Child Love

Today I learned...
...that what's really important is the circle of trust and love that exists at home. No matter what, there's always that. :-)

Today I am thankful for...
...a visit with my little niece and an evening of Disney movies.

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.
