Today I'm so incredibly grateful for Tim.  I'm so glad he is nearby and is willing to drop everything to come and comfort me when I get bad news.  I'm grateful that he offers to cancel his vacation to make sure I have the support I need.  I don't need that, but I love that he was willing to give it up in case I did.  I love him so much.

-Loving the pumpkin spice lattes at Starbucks right now, especially when I'm using my knitted coffee sleeve in one of my favorite yarns.

-I love Sundays at the dog park.  My swimming buddies and the beautiful sunflowers everywhere were exactly what I needed!

-Loved reviving an old family tradition of going to Swiss Days. And it's always fun to get new, colorful jewelry.

-I'm grateful for the recent desire I have to cook. I've been in a crazy slump where I don't want to do anything when I get home, especially cook and clean. Even doing some of my favorite hobbies like knitting and reading have fallen by the wayside. So here's a quick iPhone snapshot of one of our meals this weekend. Chicken, beets from the farmers market (I don't remember the variety) and sweet corn (also from the farmers market). So delicious! It made me happy to eat it and happy that I cooked it.

-Today I am grateful Tim drove me to work, because then I could wear a fun pair of shoes I don't normally wear to work because they pinch my toes a bit if I walk around too much.

-I love these flowers in the koi pond outside of work. Every time I walk by them I get a smile on my face. It's just this beautiful shock of color in my otherwise gray life.
