1. Online recipes…although I don’t plan on parting with my cookbook collection any time soon :)

2. Not focusing on my perceived failures…which I would totally be doing if someone I love didn’t tell me not to <3

3. Logan's piano lesson being in the concert hall in preparation for his upcoming recital. I was overwhelmed with emotion as I watched him perform. I could not be more proud of him.

4. Wayne and I talked about Ruth this morning after we had an agreeable and fruitful discussion concerning Logan's education. We've come a long way and Ruth was key in the process. He felt so much more at ease after hearing her wonderful stories of children that she had worked with who had been given the opportunity to learn at their own pace. It has not been easy for a career soldier to embrace such freedom.

5. Comfort foods…specifically, a care package of my cousin's meatballs and sauce

6. My great aunt…Aunt Mayme

7. Conversations with Logan about relatives that passed before he was born…He's always so eager to hear about them.

8. Cleaning house…I have a whole car load of things to pass on. It feels so freeing!

9. Making Christmas plans

10. How far I've come
