• Pumpkin butter
• The 80.98 miles between my apartment and my parents’ house (...that make me appreciate seeing them so much more when I do eventually find my way home)
• Paul Simon’s song, “The Obvious Child” for being so poetic and musically interesting and for being the song I’ve been playing on repeat for the past 4 days.
• Diet Coke
• My chiropractor for reminding me that I am going to get osteoporosis from drinking Diet Coke
• Mothers who leave me voicemails about my all-around superiority
• Fathers who still say “You’re the apple of my eye”
• A 3-year-old cousin that leans on me at Thanksgiving dinner every five minutes to tell me he loves me
• Anne Lamott, for articulating so honestly and graphically what messes we are but how God works with us anyhow
• Flannel sheets
• Turkish apricots
• The quirky guy at Blockbuster who wears the weird Salvation Army-looking sweaters and makes fun of my movie selection and who has no idea how much I look forward to seeing him at the end of the day
• Run-on sentence fragments
• Patty Griffin’s sad songs
• Alpaca wool mittens
• Friends who remind me that being good enough was never in the cards which is why God offers enough grace to cover me
