Similar to other people, I have a lot to be thankful for this year. And it goes without saying that I'm especially grateful for my husband, family, friends, health, work, etc. so I thought I'd express my gratitude today towards the little things that go unappreciated from time to time.
*Gluten-free Udi's Bread.
*Calculators.
*JLO's passion for teaching me to cook (even though I'm not a very good student most of the time).
*That my dad got a job. And it's in MN.
*I can't go a day without thinking of Dr. O--my cousin-- who diagnosed me with Celiac.
*A garage attached to the house.
*The MG girls' ability to be so different, but get along so well.
*My sister-in-law MTV's laugh. And really good hugs.
*Knowing that I can call my mom anytime, but usually after school, and she'll answer and listen...and talk :)
*Tennis shoes.
*That my mom wants to watch the lil' buddy and my nieces/nephew so MTV and I can maintain our careers.
*My sister-in-law AD for being so caring towards other people-- even though her life has been flipped inside out this year.
*Saturday and Sunday morning breakfasts with JLO.
*How Fizzle runs to give me a hug when I walk in the door.
*Chai Tea Lattes (and my supplier of them--thanks AV)
*G-mail.
*Students who ask me how I am doing.
*JLO's respect for my job (and patience to listen to me at dinner each night).
*The fact that JLO and I have dinner together almost every night.
*My co-workers who challenge me (in a good way) to be a better teacher.
*The fact that I inherited my dad's passion for learning and teaching.
*When Buster says, "Oh, Mo!" and "Is she here?"
*Pizza Luce Gluten-Free Mashed Potato Pizza.
*OPI nail polish that stays on a really long time.
*Yoga pants.
*Cancer-free reports for important people in my life.
*The ability to carry a baby and experience parenthood (even though he isn't even born yet!)
*JLO's nicknames for me.
