Start #1: 12 Gifts and Counting

12. My office mate Danielle so thoughtfully sharing a large Tupperware of her homemade peanut butter cookies with me to take home to my family.  I didn't arrive home this evening with quite as many as I started with this morning.

13. Words of praise and encouragement from close friends and family.

14. How proud I am of Brooke and I, forever dreaming creativity and for the first time, living it together.

15. Sitting on the edge of my seat today feeling like something big is about to happen!

16. Although my bank account is near minus, loving the difference in my outlook and interactions with others by focusing on the pluses.

17. Lily and I laughing ourselves to tears tonight reading bedtime stories due to a permeating odor so awful you would never believe it was passed by a girl.  And I'm not saying which one.Who says girls don't fart?

18. My dictionary from Dearest Aunt Joan (her title for as many years as I've been writing her letters) that she gave me at my high school graduation, and that I still choose that over technology to look words up.

19. A surprise lighting, thunder and rainstorm tonight and an exhilarating walk after; my every pore and olfactory system delighting in the cool, clean, creosote soaked wind.
