thank you notes are so touching to me...thank you Megan for your thoughtfulness...I need to write more notes of gratitude...
...for a smile on a weary day...
...for a kind word when my mood was gloomy...
...for picking up my mess...
...for a hug to tell me not to worry about my mess...
...for a laundry load all the way downstairs...
...for helping a sibling do something hard for him/her...
...for noticing a job well done...
...for thoughtful, invisible kindnesses I see others do...
logan & I had a funny text message session that warmed my heart today...thank you logan :)
I learned -- well, not really learned, but finally was able to put a name to feelings I've felt many times in my life

...some people envelope you in their warmth and kindness and "realness" and welcome you as family in their lives...

...others treat you like the "hired help"
today we were invited to a celebration for my dear friend Marcella and her husband Tim who were married in November. I loved the invitation and to feel like family...

I learned a new word from a dear friend who is wrestling the cancer out of his body..."namaste"..."I bow to the divine in you" 
I need this to replay over and over and over and over in my brain so stupid little things that don't matter much, don't fly me right off the handle...
