31 Days of Appreciation: Day 7

Today I am appreciative of...

...the dog that still fills our life.  This is Tucker.  He has lived with us since 2001.  That's 10 years of pure pug love.  If you are wondering how he is doing since Libby's passing, I have to say surprisingly well.  He's back to being top dog and loving it!

31 Days of Appreciation: Day 6

Today I am appreciative of...

...Steve Jobs.  I know the world is talking about Steve Jobs and the influence he had on technology.  I personally wouldn't have the job that I have in the field that I have without his innovation and drive.  While I don't have a Mac and my only Apple product is my iPhone, I do work as a computer programmer.  I must tip my hat to him and thank him for all he did so that I can do what I do.  RIP and Thank you Mr. Jobs!

31 Days of Appreciation: Day 5

Today I am appreciative of...

...pictures that you have forgotten you have taken.  I miss this dog and her crazy teeth.  This picture was taken in early June before the tumor went away and eventually came back. 

31 Days of Appreciation: Day 4

Today I am appreciative of...

...family dinners and the things that just kind of happen when you are together as a family. 

31 Days of Appreciation: Day 3

Today I am appreciative of...

...a stable job.  I rarely talk about it on here, but I am gainfully employed, be it part time.  My boss has been more than generous with me over the past 5 years as I have transitioned from full time employee to part-time working mother.  That's a lot to be thankful for.

31 Days of Appreciation: Day 2

Today I am appreciative of...

...new life for good friends.  We met baby Caleb last night for the first time.  What a sweet little guy.

31 Days of Appreciation: Day 1

There is a movement going on in the blog world.  It's called 31 days.  Basically it's a commitment to blog everyday for the month of October.  I wasn't going to do it.  I thought I was too busy.  But then I decided that everyone is too busy and yet there are so many people who are involved in this movement. 

So I decided to join in.  And then I thought about what can I possibly write about for 31 days.  It felt daunting and huge.  So I have decided to make my 31 days a montage of pictures and maybe just a few sentences to describe my daily picture.

I'm calling it 31 Days of Appreciation.  It will be my way to stop and appreciate my life through images. 

So without further ado...my picture for the day.




Today I am appreciative of....



...a coupon that allowed me to buy what I am hoping will be my last maternity clothes for this pregnancy.
