Game Night

Today I'm grateful for....

Game night with the girls! We had so much fun! We played Scrabble and Trivial Pursuit. Kelsey won the Trivial Pursuit game of course, but I was pleasantly surprised, especially with Taylor's ability to keep up. We actually all did better than I thought we would, and we had an excellent time. No TV, No radio, just the four of us sitting around a table facing each other, communicating, laughing, helping each other, and cheering each other on, it was wonderful fun.
I won the Scrabble game, and again.. I was incredibly impressed with Taylor's ability to keep up! I guess I just assumed that since she was the youngest she'd have a little trouble keeping up with the rest of us, she definitely proved me wrong! She was second at Scrabble and made some really impressive moves by taking her time and figuring out how to get the most points by using the least amount of tiles. We'll do it again very very soon.

Making changes in my life little by little that help push me in the direction I want to be going in.

Asking for what I want and being rewarded with it.

Girlfriends who have a gym membership at the same place I do. Plans to work out together and all of us being excited to have someone to go to classes with.

Long enduring relationships,... growing in and out of each others lives while still staying connected in some way.

Taylor made the Honor Roll!!!!! --and my grandma seeing Taylor's name in the news paper.

A wonderful man who is perfect in every way.

Creating more strong female friendships with confident, independent women.

Mudding with Josh, Kelli, Lisa and James, soooooooo much fun.

The kindness of strangers.

Women who share beauty tips that work!

Being able to be at almost every one of Taylor's speech meets this season.

Seeing a news clip about the first Green Burial in Indiana on the news this morning and thinking of Jones. I wish I would have known something like that was available when Michael passed, but I'm excited for all the families who will now be able to use these services.

A programmable coffee maker

Positive changes in the U.S. coming really really soon.

Crisp sunny days.

Good things are happening for the people I love.

You my little independent thinker, you.
