Start #1: Gifts 820...

Joy Dare - Dare You!
A Gift Turned, A Gift Folded, A Gift Hung

820. A season turned; Winter to Spring, warmth in the air, and flowers blooming everywhere.
821. A gift folded is the many baskets of clean laundry scattered about the floor that get folded by Andy and I together while watching streams of Modern Family.
822. Unique artwork and photos hung on walls of homes I've lived in an visited; makes me feel so at home and filled with life.

823. Surprises.  I am so thankful for the joy simultaneously felt by Bumpa, Grammy, Lily, Emmy and I when we surprised Mom and Dad by picking them up at the airport last night.

824. Thankful for how life slows down with company.

825. Our patio, an extension of our living space to share time together on while surrounded by sky and fresh air.

826. Prime people watching at the downtown Irish Fest today, I certainly got a feast.

827. Thankful for more opportunities that test my judgement.  Just when I think I have come so far, I am presented with two occasions today when I made snap judgements about people I didn't even know based on one very brief interaction with one, and one simple observation of another.  They both helped me realize that I still have a long way to go to non-judgement because neither made me feel very good inside.

828. Fun with the family all piled into one car.  Felt so good to be more and more comfortable and goofy as the day went on.

829. A shared meal together.

830. Grammy getting to do story time with both her grandgirls.

831. Hugs from Mom and Dad before bed.
