* Meeting up with sisters: I just realized what a blessing it is to have known these girls for so many years and to be able to speak into each other's lives. It's such a blessing to have been a part of people's lives and spiritual walks. Also realized that it's a blessing just to be able to communicate in English and understand one another in our struggles, triumphs, confusions, etc. I think I appreciate this more now. :)
* Green lawns: I appreciate the way America's suburbs have lawns. It's something simple, but something that's pleasing to the eye. I'm not so much a city person, so it's nice when I walk to work in the "neighborhood" and see all the nicely manicured lawns (it's Bel Air, what do you expect?) and the landscaping/fountains and such hehe.
* In-N-Out: Yum. I guess this category could be all great foods that I enjoy here in California. Vietnamese, Korean, Mexican, Japanese, Italian, American, Ethiopian, Indian, Thai, Persian, etc. All so good! Praise the Lord for cuisines-- I appreciate them very much.
* Driving: Yes, I admit, sometimes I start to get tired of driving because I have to drive constantly in LA traffic for ministry. But really, I love driving. Driving is so fun! I love the power and control you have in a car, as well as the danger (that's the reckless side in me). I love the smoothness of going from one place to the next and the fun you can have parallel parking or reversing. I am a driving dork.
* Cooking/Supermarkets: I appreciate the convenience and variety of things we have at the supermarket, allowing our cooking to be delicious! Something as simple as taco seasoning or ginger make a meal delicious. We can have any kind of soup we want, instantly! Lol, I sound so ... post-modern. Instant everything! Just kidding, I'm not that crazy about pre-processed/prepared things, but I just think it's cool.
and of course the list goes on... Thankful to have a list of things to appreciate though. Thank you, God!
