Today I am grateful for:

1. Doctors that say "Aha!" when I explain what seems like a baffling mystery. I finally have a course of action to take that will feel purposeful, and hopefully help my little girl.

2. Ada, my girl. My sweet, darling girl. She's my constant reminder that if I persist in happiness, I will find beauty and music in everything.

3. Catching the leak before the whole basement "office" flooded.

4. My ipod. (Cleaning up a flooded storage room would be oh so mundane otherwise!)

5. Knowing that I won't ever pay 100$ for a cut and color again. (at least I think I won't).

Today, I am grateful for;

1. Open windows and fresh air.
2. The sound of the lawn mower.
3. My helpful, patient, devoted husband.
4. Kids that come in "smelling like the wind" (as my mother in law puts it).
5. Opportunities for new friendships.
