528. The smile on Daniel's face as he describes events during his work shift at McDonalds.

529. Two sleeping puppies (ok, so they are dogs). There is something that is so peaceful about a sleeping canine (especially our golden retriever dog!).

530. For the joy of getting to play some more this season with the folks, kids, teachers and parents who will be enjoying 49er Fun Programs at Rock-N-Water. I get to pretend I am a woman in 1854! Such fun!

531. The laughter, joy, and heart connections last night with the worship/AV team at Cool Community Church. I am so blessed to get to lead this team this week...and blessed when I am a participant only--following the primary leader!

532. For the group of women that joined me last night for our Thin Within chat. What a joy it is to remind them and to BE reminded of such important truths. God has given us what we need to think differently so we can act differently and be different. It infuses such hope into us when we really focus on these facts!

533. I can have hope because it doesn't depend on ME. It isn't even *about* me! YAY!

534. Though my joints are showing signs this won't always be the case, I still am able to play singles (tennis) on more teams than any sane person needs. I love that I can laugh at myself in the middle of a match as I hit a nice, "juicy" ball that I have all the time in the world to plan...long, wide, into the net or just plain ol' badly. LOL!

535. That Michaela and I will play together for communion this Sunday. I don't imagine there will be many more times when we do that before she leaves for college. (sniff!)

536. The heart connection with women who love and study God's Word at Bible Study Fellowship in Auburn with me and the wonderful teacher we have...both in our small group, but also the teaching leader, Peggy, who is a gifted communicator. She never pulls her punches, but lets us know precisely what God has to say about all kinds of things!

537. Oreo cookies and vanilla ice cream. Need I say more? :-)

538. A Yukon XL full of tennis playing crazy women...all 8 of us tonight heading out to Natomas for a match. I love being the "bus driver!" LOL! SUCH fun!
