Gratitude: 32, 33, 34

32: Today I am grateful for simple time with my children.  I got far enough ahead on schoolwork that I was able to take the day and get the household ready for my trip out of town.  I am also grateful for a friend who took my kids and hers sledding while I ran out for groceries.

33: Today I am grateful for the 4 uninterrupted hours of studying I got done on the plane from Chicago to Seattle.  Flying may not always be ideal, but it was an excellent way to travel to where I needed to be and to get in the studying I needed to get done.

34:  Ah, another day back in beautiful Washington.  Today I am grateful for the ritualistic dinner at a sushi restaurant that my brother and I share each onsite.  We go out, I order roughly the same meal with a couple of onigiri that I eat for breakfast in the days following our dinner.  We get to spend tim together, and eat delicious food.
