Somehow I skipped #23 in this series when it was numerically appropriate, but that’s fine today because what I’m thankful for just now are things that have been here for a while. Those are the things we take for granted most often, you know.
1. The shift dress, with a cardigan and flats and pearls.
2. Twinings English Breakfast tea, with milk and sugar.
3. Reeses Peanut Butter eggs, right out of the fridge.
4. Girlfriends. Always.
5. The collected works of Jane Austen (although now they’re on my iPhone rather than in a big clunky book).
I’m also finding grace in the huge outpouring of love and support for Shana and her family. If you would like to help, you can go here for more information.

I’ll be in OKC on Saturday. Email me if you’d like me to bring by dinner for Shana and her family. I’ll freeze it, obviously. If you can think of anything else that she needs, please let me know!

You’re really in a loop aren’t you, wandering round drinking tea and reading Jane Austen and wearing pearls.

Not to be all trivial and flip when the saddest tragedy possible has occurred to someone you know, but I could eat those Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs until I burst. I went to Target yesterday and kicked myself later for not checking to see if there were any left on the shelves, half off. I’m all out!

Good girlfriends are pretty awesome to have. It took me years to find people who I absolutely loved so I’m eternally grateful for that one.
