My morning gratitude for:

1. The McDaniels, who are dealing with very difficult sleep issues with their son.  It puts me in perspective after a tough night with Ryan and helps me admire their continuing strength and presence in the midst of their exhaustion.
2. RadioLab’s presentation of “The Fix” about the throbbing overwhelming desires that people feel when they are addicted.  I am appreciative of their humanizing of these people.
3. Picnic, a cafe/bakery/restaurant I love in West U.  Great soup, delicious sandwiches, and I really like their cookies.  I took Elana yesterday and she like it too.
4. Beautiful blue sky!
