Year 1, Day 70: healthy parents, helpful staff, winter wrestling

I am so grateful for:

  1. My parents’ good health. I enjoy them so much!
  2. The Alzheimer’s Association — especially their 24/7 helpline (1-800-272-3900), whose understanding, well-informed, caring staff are a true gift.
  3. The sudden memory (stirred up by a crossword clue) of Ivan Raconteur and Brian watching pro wrestling, then deciding it looked fun and taking their own version of a match outside…in the middle of the winter. Hahahaha! What a vision. 🙂

Year 1, Day 69: comedy sportz, classmates, kindness

Today I appreciate:

  1. My Comedy Sportz Improv Class 3 for a terrifically fun class yesterday.
  2. My Comedy Sportz Improv Class 3 classmates, who are incredibly funny, talented, and sweet.
  3. Noticing how small acts of kindness can have a huge impact. Don’t underestimate the power of a well-timed smile, text-message or email. 🙂

Year 1, Day 66: festivals, cool stuff, almost-cheese-like-substance

I appreciate:

  1. Living in a city that has a Fringe Festival, an Improv Festival AND the Twin Cities Horror Festival! Thank you, Minneapolis.
  2. Looking forward to seeing Bump in the Night and Ghost Force. Thank you, Erin Sheppard, for doing cool stuff – and letting me know about it!
  3. Daiya dairy-free, soy-free cheese. I know you’re not real cheese, but you are a pretty nice imitation. 😛

Year 1, Day 64: rain, carefulness, soup?

I appreciate:

  1. Waking up to the sound of pouring rain at 6 am….wasn’t so sure about the 6 am part, but lying in bed listening to October rain is a cozy treat. 🙂
  2. Our newspaper carrier’s careful tying of the plastic bag around the paper so it wouldn’t get wet.
  3. Today’s perfect soup-making weather. Maybe today’s the day I actually do it. Hahaha!
