Daily 5 Revisited - Day 34

Today's Daily 5:

1. a couple of ongoing email dialogues
2. the kind of experience that led to sending the following text to two good friends, "You know, I continually underestimate how responsive Jesus will be if I'll just stop being pissed off at him for not making my life perfect and easy long enough to actually shut up and listen! :) "
3. the responses that sending this sort of text invite
4. hanging out with a good friend, doing stuff related to her wedding that I'm privileged to stand up in next month
5. cuddles with my niece
6. a listening ear from my brother (the gentle sympathy for what I was experiencing made me cry)
7. really good Mexican food for dinner
8. the lightness that comes from the kind of experience I mentioned in number 2
9. watching an episode of Bones (I do love those characters and the growth they've experienced through all the seasons)
10. sipping tea and reflecting on how a day that started out really crappy has ended much more peacefully
