• my white noise sleep machine - works like a charm!
• productive morning at school, my room is looking alive again
• knowing my husband is having the experience of a lifetime spending time in Jerusalem
• catching up and eating lunch with a friend, her treat! 
• brother stepping in to help with car trouble
• gracious neighbor willing to lend out his jumper cables
• eager to have a sister that will live nearby (downstairs!), admiration for her as she trusts in God during an incredibly hard time
• chipping away at my "labor of love"
