jaklumen is feeling a little better but misses the sunshine
1. My wife cleaned and tidied our home so nicely.
2. My daughter was well behaved on our little trip to drop off items at the thrift shop and plastic at the recycling bins.
3. I did some good housework of my own.
4. Wifey made a delicious dinner.
5. Getting a good long nap—my C-PAP air mask broke and so I’ve had to stay up waiting for the fix to cure/dry.
1.) lyrics from one of his songs from a family member. and the world seems so much more connected. weird.
2.) having the same face wash up here. progress on getting ready as another probably locked the door to the bathroom for some time while she was getting ready.
3.) noticing similar tendencies between myself and my sister.
4.) one told me I looked nice. odd for who it was. it is a dress up day, arts center tonight.
5.) a package was delivered today.

~ John Lee ~ setting my sights lower so I can set them higher
1. Precious; because sometimes we forget that people whose lives appear to be train wrecks were not the engineers driving that train
2. Blindside; because we all have the power within us to kick some ass on the behalf of others
3. Air France; they are starting A380 service between Paris and New York Monday signalling a great deal of hope in the economic recovery
4. PSE&G, the local utility company; they were here in less than 20 minutes after calling in last evening’s gas leak
5. Trig Palin; because whatever your thoughts on his mother, being in the public eye and not hidden away is going to make a world of difference in our perception of people with Downs Syndrome and ultimately in the lives of these wonderful people
Theskysthelimit1976 And I would be good... even if I did nothing... Alanis
1) For answers. I love when I get them…. and find the solutions… having answers brings on such relief and resolution
2) For learning how to be at peace during the “in between” ... when the answers haven’t presented themselves…. learning to appreciate the space of feeling in flux…. knowing that it is as valuable as having answers
3) That my favorite holiday is this week…. I love being in a space of gratitude and having an excuse to tell people how grateful I am to have them in my life
4) For little tiny hands… my nieces’ .... so sweet and cute and perfect
5) For my Mom…. for the first time ever in our lives finding more than just neutral ground…. actually finding real love… I think I may be more grateful for this than anything else in the world right now…. I never thought it possible… a blessing.
6) For the originator of “Daily: Reflect on 5 things for which I’m grateful.” You don’t know how doing this on a daily basis has changed my life. For this I am very thankful!

1.) a sweatshirt still smells like him. I haven’t worn it since the last I saw him.
2.) talking to him.
3.) baking. having a new jar of cinnamon, banana bread is better with a dash or two.
4.) cleaning.
5.) awesome stickers on bananas.
jaklumen is feeling a little better but misses the sunshine
1. Recovering from bad weather and such that disrupted my sleep: I woke up on time.
2. My med nurse said, “This is the best I’ve ever seen you!” at today’s appointment
3. Maintained weight loss- stepping on the scale at aforementioned appointment- 343 lbs.
4. Got a roll of dollars ($25)—enough for Sarah to deposit to her special account; when I told mother-in-law (who set it up) offered an additional $5 so she can pay tithing easier.
5. Arriving home in time to greet my daughter, who’s home on an early release for the start of parent-teacher conferences.
6. My son is napping at the moment after a rather exciting day for him.
