Now that I've dusted off my laptop, I'm realizing that when I first read it, I was so inspired by your attitude and wonderful idea of finding the best in less-than-ideal circumstances (band trip chaperone? Really? Have you considered submitting your own name for sainthood?) that I was determined to do it myself.<br /><br />We are leaving tomorrow for a trip. As is my custom, the day before any trip, I lose my mind. It becomes crucial that every last tiny thing get done THAT DAY. I could have GREATLY benefited from listing the manymanymany things for which I have to be thankful today, but I did not. I will try to better tomorrow, though, which is all anyone can do. Thank you again for the inspiration.<br /><br />Favorites:"bladder holding up well" (How often do I self-evaluate my own bladder? Allll the time.) "I am still alive" (lololol) your roommate not drowning, all those involving your daughters, "did not get shoes wet at water park," "there was not a nuclear bomb," "a lovely thank you text from a student."The Crislershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10716006297375813032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1805554874942481868.post-69863378983565679602016-04-30T11:26:49.801-04:002016-04-30T11:26:49.801-04:00Your list and commentary were funny--the fact that...Your list and commentary were funny--the fact that you were thankful NOT to be in Lahore, for example, really illustrated your effort to discover the positive things.

As an introvert, having only a few minutes truly alone in this many days, I would have needed to be committed at the half-way mark!<br /><br />Why do these trips have to be packed so tightly with activities? <br /><br />Love #54 Cassihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04058787761575567910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1805554874942481868.post-71256693345328162622016-04-27T23:58:27.023-04:002016-04-27T23:58:27.023-04:00I probably shouldn't have laughed, but I did -...I probably shouldn't have laughed, but I did -- at number 76. <br />I'll say it again: you are a HERO.
