Day 97: Hubby Knows Best + Tea

Today I learned...
...that sometimes Rick really does know best when it comes to cold remedies.

Today I am thankful for...
...tea, tea, and more tea. And the time to rest.

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 95: Food + Care

Today I learned...
...that favorite foods improve the mood. Rick and I are both sick with bad colds, so we drove to Panera and Subway for my favorite dinner and his respectively. Then we ate at home together in efforts of self-care. :-)

Today I am thankful for...
...a husband who takes care of me, even when he's sick himself.

Day 94: Encouragement for Girls + Cat Snuggles

Today I learned...
...that there is a HUGE need for young girls to hear positive, encouraging things about themselves. I already knew this, of course, but it keep being reaffirmed and I want to be someone who does it... Someone who encourages, who teaches, who explains that self-worth is valuable. Working on more ways to get the word out...

Today I am thankful for...
...cuddly cats that snuggle me when I feel sick...and yeah, I'm still thankful for NyQuil. :-) G'night!

Day 93: Nap + Classmates

Today I learned...
...that a good, long nap can make a sick woman deliver a presentation without failing. I was sick, but went to work...decided what was best was for me to go home...so I left at 10:45 am, went home and slept until 3:30pm. Then, I got dressed and drove to class to give a presentation. If I had worked all day, I highly doubt I could have delivered a presentation.

Today I am thankful for...
...my very intelligent and caring classmates. They never cease to support me and each other.

Day 92: Time-Outs + NyQuil

Today I learned...
...that time-outs are needed when a person is sick. Even though I make it a commitment to have my Wednesday video up and ready for Wednesday morning, I couldn't... I was too ill. I went to bed instead. The world did not end.

Today I am thankful for...
...NyQuil! No, seriously - I am!

Day 91: Tumbler Antics + Letters

Today I learned...
...that Tumbler runs laps for hours (like a bunny - because he has to hop) when I'm not home. I found this out today when I was home all day and was able to observe him in his natural habitat. He must only do this on weekdays. Clearly I did not distract him from his normal routine.

Today I am thankful for...
...beautiful letters in the mail from beautiful people. Thank you.
