Grace in Small Things: Week Four

8 Oct

First GiST? The lovely Wonju Wife sending me a series of buttons/banners to use in my GiST posts going forward just because she felt like it. They are gorgeous too. See?

* My entire support network of friends and family who have been sending me sweet, supportive emails all week asking how the grad school finals are going. (I promise, just two more days and I won’t mention those words much at all anymore!)

* Going to the allergist and finding out that while my food allergies aren’t better, they aren’t worse.

* Hearing from friends that I sent snail mail to; knowing I made their day brighter gives me that warm, fuzzy feeling.

* Endless gchat conversations pertaining to New Year’s Eve: The San Francisco Edition.

* Amazing breakthrough work conversations with my dad.

* Adam Braverman. Puck. Crosby. Ted Mosby. (aka, my tv show crushes).

* Picking up some really adorable baby gifts for a few special people who are having their babies soon. I really love shopping for adorable baby clothes and necessities.

* Knowing that this Saturday I get to see one of my best friends and her family while we sit around a campfire, drink beer, and just hang out. Then on Sunday, a quick lunch with my brother.

* Being able to laugh at myself.

* Hoodies.

* A dinner with a friend on Wednesday night full of laughs, catching up and ignoring our stressors.

* Casual Friday at the office.

Your turn to share what you made you smile this past week.

(Be sure to come back next Tuesday for the chocolate review + giveaway!)
