well, let’s put a less sad post at the top for when my mom hits “refresh”
15 Things I’m Thankful For Right Now
1. Sunshine and blue skies in oft-rainy Vancouver.
2. Spending time with my dear friend Eric while he’s in town macking on my roommate (his girlfriend, Catherine).
3. Coffee in my round turquoise mug
4. The smell of coconut in my Skin Trip lotion.
5. My mom’s soft heart and my dad’s sense of humour.
6. That I live in a place where I can find fresh food to eat all the time, and I have the money to do it.
7. For the ability to make plans and dream dreams and actually have them come true.
8. The patience and grace my friends show me.
9. That my neck seems to be on the mend today!
10. For music, and how much it changes and shapes my day.
11. For the freedom to put my thoughts up here, and your kindness in reading them.
12. For memories of perfect summer moments — Nat Bailey baseball games, lying on the beach at La Jolla, checking out the whales at Sea World, road trips with windows down, slurpees by the pool. living in flip flops. (See above)
13. Windex. I just think it’s awesome.
14. Laughter, even at inopportune moments.
15. You.

I’m going to print this out and hang it by my computer. It is easy to forget about the blessings in our life. Except Windex…that’s just weird! ;)

Meg,
Are those your flip flops - that you wear???? How do you keep them so clean? I put mine in the washer when I want to clean them up but, they never get that shiny. Give up the secret sister.

Um.
Your collection of Haviannas? AMAZING.
Best flip flops EVER.

Shannon — I scrub them, actually, and then put them through the washer. I use a bit of Comet and a green scrubby — the bleach in the Comet kills odours and discolouration, and the scrubby gets rid of the dirt. Takes like, 2 minutes a flip flop, and extends their appearance for a YEAR. And you know how hard I am on my flip flops.
Or just buy black and brown:).
