1. for the grace of my co-worker and my boss for being calm when I told them that a file that I had generated and given to them a few months ago was wrong. I felt so terrible when I discovered the mistake, but they were both super nice about it. Some of the work will have to be repeated.
2. for the joy that I feel when I see my children playing together.
3. that my husband put the trash out even though he had to leave at 5.30 AM this morning.
4. that the heat wave has subsided and I finally feel like I will stop melting.
5. for the memory of my friend.
6. for internet which allowed me to find a custom cake maker who will bake a cake for a reasonable price. I called several local and famous bakeries for a custom cake and every single one said that it would cost upwards of $500. I had almost given up when I googled and found someone who would do it for under $100. I hope it turns out well.

PS I will be very grateful to you all for any suggestions for the most awesome ferrari image you can point me to. I hope to get a Ferrari cake custom-made for my husband’s birthday. :).
