Grace in Small Things: Part 3

1. Canadian television. Seriously! Check out Little Mosque on the Prairie and Being Erica.

2. Romance novels. There. I said it. I don't read the ones with the goofy cover guys but I occasionally pick up the mystery/romance genre (think, Linda Howard and Sandra Brown) and every single time I read it I am satisfied. They're not books that stay with you or make you think, but enjoyable and easy to get through. Compare an oreo versus a bittersweet chocolate covered ginger from Godiva. Clearly, the ginger is superior, but the oreo is damn tasty all the same.

Grace in Small Things: Part 1

I know I am a little late to the Grace in Small Things exercise, but I really want this to be a way for me to focus on the positives, rather than the negatives (which is becoming too easy lately). Here goes:

1. My family: seriously, they all love me and are always willing to help and offer support. Very lucky, not grateful enough.

2. Fruit danishes: must contain lots of fruit and lots of sugary icing.

3. Cashmere

4. Pave earrings that I can sleep in and always appropriate for work.

5. Co-workers who can offer a unique understanding of daily situations.
