The Gifts That Keep On Giving

My “gifts” from the past week

• People watching at grocery stores, “categorizing” shoppers
• Afternoon rainstorms that lower the temperature
• Being disappointed that I couldn’t find what I wanted at Half Price Books, then seeing it on the clearance rack
• Little kids who wear glasses
• New crossword books
• Sharing my “secret” parking garage at the Galleria with my impatient father
• Orange/Citrus-flavored drinks – refreshing
• Getting instantly captivated by a new book
• Snagging some of the last available seats at the mom when we went to the dollar theatre
• Mom buying me gas for my car
• Gaining reassurance of what I want to do with my life
• New job opportunities – wedding design assistant
• Free DVD rentals at the library
• Seeing pictures of my parents when they were dating

• Seeing cute guys reading at Barnes & Noble (nothing sexier than a guy reading a book)
• Watching drunk people play mini-golf
• Fountains
• Sharing my “Paris highlights” with a friend who is spending the weekend there – nostalgia
• Taking down and putting up holiday decor
• Munching on firm blueberries
• My brother walking out of the house right as I was walking in with my arms full
• How food tastes so much better after you’ve gone too long without eating (stupid work)
• Friendly, solid handshakes
• Drinking Snapple – reminds me of when my dad would buy it for me when we went to the grocery store
• New (& unexpected) seed growth
