Reflections

This morning, I am thankful for:

• my new MacBook Pro.
• the wonderful people who gifted me with it, and
• the great techie friend who set it up for me
• beautiful weather this past week when all rain had been the forecast
• safety for east coast friends who weathered Irene with minimal damage or impact
• progress with Seth at his new preschool
• opportunities to serve at my church
• an unexpected opportunity to travel to see family sooner than expected, twice!
• fantasy football – I don’t participate, but it allows Jim to stay connected with certain groups of friends that otherwise he might not, and that’s important to me
• being able to find new, healthy recipes just by surfing the web
• uncluttered kitchen counters
• fall scents at Yankee Candle
• awesome designer finds for me and Erin at Goodwill.  Seriously? $2 for Banana Republic?  Yes, please!
