It is too easy to come home only to find myself frustrated with certain situations in my life...therefore, I'm going to focus on the things I am thankful for...

• The man that stands on the side of the road and waves to everyone who goes by each morning.
• The little boy in my classroom who charms me by giving me lots of hugs and smiles, even if he is a terror the second I put him down.
• My friend involved in espionage on my behalf. ;)
• My warm, cozy bed that I hate getting out of in the mornings.
• New opportunities, or hopes thereof.
• Mom's roast with potatoes and carrots...yum!
• Rain instead of snow.
• My phone and beloved friends who make it ring.
• My nickname of "Zaza", given by an 19 month old girl who is a ray of sunshine in my life.
• Moleskin notebooks.
• Getting in touch with old friends.
• Dreams that I hope will become reality.
• Jack Johnson and his "beach" music that takes me back to a place I love.
• Being on the verge of spring.
• Honeycombs.
• Edy's creamy coconut ice cream bars.
• Fresh air.
• Sore muscles from "jogging".
• Laughter.
