11 More gifts, Only 978 left to go!

I have to admit...it's been a slow start toward the One Thousand Gifts goal I made. We'll keep truckin' though...

12. Moonlit walks after dinner. Listening to sounds of the crickets. Looking up to see the stars shining down on me.

13. Realizing that THIS moon is the same moon no matter where you are. Whether you're in New Jersey or California, Japan or Italy, South Africa or South America. All nights are brightened by the same moon.

14. Walking past the high school when "classes" are over for the day. Then, being surprised to see lights on in a few classrooms. Night Classes... I have the greatest respect for those people who work all day and then go to school at night. I don't know how they do it!

15. Dinner Date with a college friend. Cooking for two is so much better than cooking just for one.

16. Singing songs and making harmonies...sort of.

17. Co-workers. Truly working as a team to accomplish our goals.

18. A new ceiling in my apartment. I almost have my cute little kitchen back again.

19. Things I'm looking forward to (they keep me going on those longgg days) : Nicole's new apartment, seeing my parents this weekend (you know I had to say that mom and dad!), visiting college/church friends in VA, spending the summer in London (I know, I know, I'm not getting too far ahead of myself now)

20. Dinner Date #2. Making homemade pizza. Note to self: put pizza crust on pan before loading pizza up with toppings and sauce.

21. Making new friends at work. Talking as we work. Working as we talk.

22. Reality checks. Catching "dumpster divers" after hours at work. Realizing that dumpster diving is a way of life. Feeling extra grateful that I have what I have. Saddened that others resort to 'search and rescue' techniques, even if it means breaking the law.
