Some days, it's just that day when you need a little extra boost, a tiny reality check to keep you going, a chance to re-evaluate and take stock and a deep breath. Some days it isn't that day - but some days it is. Either way, here's a brief list of a few things I'm grateful for today...

- big green chair
- New Jersey / New York
- books
- Georgia
- the color blue
- older brother
- music
- freckles
- Superman / gardens
- roomate
- roomate on vacation
- scriptures
- cell phone
- Fact that I don't particularly like cheesecake
- sunshine
- lunar eclipses
- books
- younger brothers
- lyrics
- cell phone charger
- Grandma's art
- non-Creepy Guys
- high-schoolers (not biologically mine, of course)
- reference materials
- (being a total geek)
- Sunday School class
- sister
- nieces and nephews (so glad to VISIT)
- books
- sparkly things
- the Internet; for helping to provide endless ways to procrastinate!

And much, much more...


Watch out for falling turtles,

Highly amused by "Roommate/Roommate on Vacation."

Been there before...

And btw, I'm pleased you've linked my blog to yours--no complaints here! Your blog is delightful and has given me many "Laugh Out Loud and Surprise the 7th Grade Class" moments. Cherish them...

In the Philadelphian spirit of Brotherly Love, I just want to say "neener, neener, neener!" to my brothers listed lower than me on the list. :+)
