Today I am grateful for hot water, Babyface's zerberts, beautiful weather, falling leaves, regional accents, getting a kick out of Maria Semple's Where'd You Go, Bernadette, tried and true recipes, sneaking in a nap, a nice chat with my mom, my soft, super-comfy maternity capri sweatpants, a fancy pedicure to look forward to, mulling, thrift store/rummage sale treasures that brighten up the house, finishing a magazine, keeping a sense of humor, priorities, appreciating our big TV (My Heart's Desire bought it a year and a half ago and I still think of it as the new TV), early 90's comedies, the smell of clean laundry, making lists, good friends, and every day is a new beginning.
