Start #1: Gifts 639...

639. Admiring my Valentine's rose before bed each night as it has blossomed over the course of the week, unfolding to allow every piece of its being to open up in expression of its unique beauty.


640. Six new hires today - realize that I love this energy of more people in the room and the opportunity for exchange this provides as people to open up and ask questions about their benefits.  I always hope that awareness brings smart use of what they have and knowledge of their responsibilities as well as those of their providers and the insurance company.

641. A whole Facebook photo book of the recent Jeka journey to Yosemite just waiting for Lily, Emmy, Andy and I to dig into tomorrow evening - can't wait!

642. Andy taking the time today to take care of himself by going to his appointment at the hand specialist, sending positive energy for healing.

643. Brainstorming solutions together to try to make things easier for Lily, and in turn us all as a family, still navigating our way around sensory experiences.  Hoping that headphones and her own music help make transitions in the car from school or activities to being with us all and the chatter a little more tolerable.

644. A new arrival into the world - hello to you Mia!  We can't wait to meet you!

645. Seeing Molly so happy with her new bone tonight - doggy happiness makes the day a little lighter - or maybe it was the way we pony-tailed her ears together on top of her head so the long hair on them wouldn't get matted up in bone shrapnel and us all chuckling at the sight.  Emmy commented, "Dad, that bun that you made on Molly's head is funny!  She has a bun!"

646. Falling asleep with Lily in her bed tonight after stories.  Sometimes, there isn't a more peaceful 20 minutes of slumber than that.

647. Getting a text of great news on their journey of recovery from dear friends. So excited to hear about their progress, endurance, and patience through challenging times. 

648. No traffic today due to a lot fewer people on the road for the President's day holiday.

649. Having quiet time to myself tonight in our room - ahhhhhh.  I love you Andy, but I also love that you're watching Survivor out in the dining room and I'm in here in my peaceful haven, reflecting on my day.

650. Being able to take time to appreciate the positive moments of the day.
