1. What did I do that was "good" today?
I watched the Australian movie "Red Dog," and I cried. I know it seems simple, but I very rarely cry when I read stories or watch movies or even in my life situations. I feel saddened or frustrated or angry or whatnot, but crying is just something I tend not to do, but I do shed tears when a character in a film is dealing with a sense of loss, when someone has died and the character is struggling with coming to terms with that permanence of that loss. I don't know what it is, but it really moves me to tears; it's the only thing that has thus far ever moved me to tears. And when I do cry, I feel like I'm dealing with that sense of loss as well; and that's good.

2. What did I learn today?
I learned that my friend Lisa is going to start being a mentor at our church today, and that Lindsay bought her wedding dress for $200. :)

3. What is something I'm thankful for today?
I'm thankful for my sweet puppies who are always so happy to see me, even if we were separated by the stairs just for 30 seconds or if I am coming home from being away for 5 hours. They're just the sweetest little guys.

4. What is one thing I hope for tomorrow (or the future)?
I hope I'll get a good night's sleep. The weather and Eddie have been making it difficult to sleep through the night.

5. What should I change about myself or the way I think or behave?
I wish I could be more patient with Einstein when we're walking. I think I get rather mean to him because it's hot and I'm cranky and also having to take care of Eddie. I'll have to figure that one out.
