Today I am grateful for:
* A best friend that I can call during a momentary breakdown and confide all my neurotic over-analyses to and she will assure me that I am not, in fact, insane. Because I am pretty sure that anyone else would tell me that I am.
* Small miracles because our prayers are often not answered in the manner we anticipated, but they are answered, nonetheless, with greater wisdom and perspective.
* Two parents who whisked away my seven and five year old for a fun-filled week in the mountains with my 26 year-old special needs brother in tow. They are truly amazing. The girls call everyday with excited reports about "Goldenstone" and spotting bears, moose, and buffalo.
