- Grateful for Cimmy and her purr-purr-purring way of waking me up.
- Grateful for Udi gluten-free bread and a quick easy breakfast!

Year 1, Day 2: RMSS memories, sleep, missing Katie
1. Grateful for RMSS memories floating around me and infusing my day with random happy thoughts (like watching the meteor blaze across the sky while listening to music at Camp Waylay and like Bethel Steele sandwich hugs that left me breathless with laughter and love).
2. I so appreciate my soft bed, freshly laundered sheets (thank you, dear) and the luxury of sleeping 10 hours!!
3. I appreciate loving Katie Korpi so much that despite having spent 12 straight days with her, I already miss her now that she’s back at school! ♥

3.   I appreciate the gift of sharing my Song School experience with my amazing, brilliant daughter — and the gift of spending time with my amazing, fascinating son at HUGE theater, yesterday (okay, that’s 2, but who’s counting??)
