Start #1: Gifts 699...

699. Thankful that I have a husband who gives me the space and respect to say what I need to say, and who accepts my apology when I so rudely cut him off when he tried to respond.

700. Being able to say, "I'm sorry."

701. Oh my, so thankful that I have had 700 things to be grateful for (at least) since I began this project. 

702. That my family and I have our home that offers protection from the ferocious wind and dust that hit the Valley today.

703. Trader Joe's Trader Johann's Lip Balm Virtuoso, so spearminty that people think you just brushed your teeth, so soothing it's, "Music to your lips."  Our desert dweller lives would not survive without this one product, the only balm that is a one size fits all for our family. 

704. The most incredible night, just me and the girls.  It's amazing what happens when they're stripped of everything but each other and books (and in case I need to mention it, clothes too!).  It was almost like seeing that first ray of sun break through a rain cloud after a storm to see how kind and caring they were to each other, and to feel the love we felt together reading books tonight.

705. Emmy reciting almost all of her new favorite book Green Eggs and Ham, oddly enough, just in time for Read Across America Dr. Seuss week.  She LOVES that book and completely gets into the exclamations and everything.  What a fun story time tonight.

706. Getting to rest my allergy tired eyes right now.  Good night.
