My daily gratitude for:

1. Working in a place where people of all cultures and ethnicities and perspectives walk around. It’s a joy to hear the voices and passions and learn from them all.
2. That feeling of being productive.
3. Watching “Muppet Christmas Carol.” It’s just awesome.
4. Forgiveness and being forgiven, especially in the parenting relationship with Ryan. It’s such a great challenge to teach him forgiveness by handling his mistakes, and to allow him to forgive me for mine. It’s not just cute, it’s a sacred blessing.

6. Rusty Pipes, a great man of faith who has taught me so much about joy and going the extra mile for those you love. His generosity and remembering me is such a blessing to me.
