This afternoon I was thankful to hear Simon reading to Chris.
This afternoon I was thankful for Katie's help in getting ready for a neighborhood garage sale.

Tonight I was thankful for time.
Tonight I was thankful for dinner out and a glass of wine.
Tonight I was thankful for a walk in the park.
So how's it going out there? You guys hanging in there?
I got a bit of joy today in looking back at my April 2010 Week In The Life Thursday post. It was fun to see what was different and what was the same.

In a world where the moments in our lives can be transformed into art of the everyday, it's important that it reflects our own unique personalities. As a designer, I've teamed up with key companies to develop innovative products and tools for the papercraft industry. This is your creative journey, time to embrace your imperfections - what you'll discover will be wonderful, what you'll discover will be yourself..
PLEASE NOTE
If you are here because Tim sent you over, welcome. I'm hosting a big giveaway this week which includes a selection of products from Tim as well as other companies who are supporting my Week In The Life project.

This is such a wonderful idea. So many times we focus on the "events" of our lives and forget to be thankful for the small significant things that make our lives beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing yours!

In that 'thankful for distractions' photo, there's a little plastic bicycle ... that looks like one I had (and have now for my girls) - circa 1986 or so, Strawberry Shortcake? I'm thankful for old toys having a second childhood with my kids!

I am liking the daily themes I am seeing in your photos. I almost wish I was doing this next week instead to do that myself. Everyone else's lives always look so much more light and colorful and picturesque than mine, but I am sure everyone else feels that way about their own daily life shots. Thank you!

I was lead here by Tim's post. You remind me to be thankful and to be specific. That is a good thing.
Enjoy!

I hope I am not misunderstanding the parameters of the contest, but here goes. One unique thing about me? I sing in a regional chorus in northern NJ. I joined six weeks after I got married four weeks after I moved from Boston to NJ, and three weeks after starting my first real job as a lawyer. That was 25 years ago. I still have the husband, but not the job. I have two teenage goys. I am now the longest continuing member of the chorus save one. I have been its president - twice - and a member of its Board of Directors for 18 years. I was its historian (i.e. I kept the scrapbook, of course) for almost 20 years. And yet, I have never once scrapped it for myself although every other detail of my life and that of my family has been chronicalled down to the last silly detail. Soon, very soon.

We have a ledge in our shower that's just about the same height as my shoulders. I used two dry washcloths to hold the camera in place and took two shots (it was really steamy). This is the one I liked the best. It was a bit of a challenge but worth it.
