Start #1: Gifts 98...

98. The one small cup of coffee with a teeny, tiny bit of vanilla creamer that Emmy's school offers to everyone at the front desk.  I take a cup on my way out nearly every morning and savor each sip as I make my way into town.  The past couple of weeks have been a treasure enjoying the warmth sink down to my belly while surrounded by the crisp morning air and the sunrise as I make my way to the I-17.

99. A surprise day off that my family doesn't know about yet.  Can't wait to see their faces tomorrow morning when they realize I get to stay home with them.

100.  Classic U2 Joshua Tree, belting out "Where the Streets Have No Name" on my way home today.

101. Indulgences this evening: girl time with girlfriends, Mindy's delicious stroganoff, red wine, mini Oreos, and as hard as it is to admit this, the last of the leftover bacon that I just ate off the kitchen counter from Andy's fried egg, avocado, bacon, lettuce, tomato sandwiches that I missed tonight. 

102. Chatting with my niece in her family's hot tub tonight.  It's rare that I get that one-on-one time with her to see her shine in her own right, on her own turf.

103. I am so grateful for my experiences today that have given me the perspective to see how far I've come, how much I've grown.  I love that perspective is a recurring theme here.

104. Thankful for over 100 gifts in my life and counting.
