Thrills

I am grateful for:

• Hot coffee in my travel cup every morning and cold water from the cooler just a few steps from my desk
  
• The windows in my office
  
• Flirtatious customers who make me blush on the phone
  
• Training my coworkers to offer me a donut from the box before they carry it downstairs to the bullpen (Thank you Mama!)
  
• Char, always and especially when she reaches out to me because she's excited or fearful. Even though she's very independent, she still wants me to know what's going on.
  
• My mom, for all the times she supports Char when I'm at work or traveling, so I can focus on those things fearlessly.
  
• My Dad, because he makes running our house look effortless, and really enjoys doing it.
  
• My job. I may not always enjoy it, but it reminds me that I'm capable and smart, and I'm all for that! ;)
  
• My writing partners, for teaching me to play and take risks.
  
• Women's group, for teaching me it's safe to tell the truth.
  
• The activists and politicians who made the ADA happen, so I could hop on a plane to Philadelphia and stay in a room there that has wide doors and a roll-in shower.
  
• You, and all your juicy adventures that whet my appetite. YUM!
