Laundromats for getting 6 loads of laundry (ALL the towels and ALL the rugs that were in the laundry room when the water heater broke) done at one time. Pretty nifty!

Vacuum cleaners for making broken glass removal SO much easier.

Knowing that I don’t have to take life too seriously, so I can laugh at the absurdity of a week like this last one. 😀

The way that a little adversity reminds me a) that I am surrounded by an incredibly supportive, loving, wonderful community of friends and family and b) that I’ve lived a pretty charmed life and can handle a few bumps in the road. (Though having re-realized that, I now hereby give myself permission to live a bump-free life for awhile! Hahaha!)

Knowing how and having good reasons to laugh and smile every day. I appreciate all the people and ideas and thoughts that got me to this place. ❤
