the best part of waking up - march 2011

3.19.2011:  Putting together Leslie and Tom's new house!  She's so happy.  This is what she's wanted for a long time.
3.18.2011:  Making up stories with Caden about Caden, Gavin, Owen and Cat in the Hat.  Today, we went on adventures in China, Mexico and Florida.  We swam through oceans, rode on dolphins, escaped from pirates and Vikings, flew kites, called a whale with a conch shell, disappeared through warp holes, and much more.  Not bad for a day.
3.17.2011:  Kicking some arse in front of EMB today.
3.16.2011:  Giving Brandon his birthday present.  The most important things we have in life are our family and friends, our memories, and our health.  At the end of the day, that's all we're left with.
3.15.2011:  Jumping off waterfalls holding your hand.  Holding that door open because this door is like the one in the Secret Garden - old wooden slabs with a rusted brass lock and overgrown ivy - it has more character and stories and life, and its begging to be opened.
3.14.2011:  Chatting with Alexa and Tim each for a few hours or so.  Seeing both of them so happy is incredible.
3.13.2011:  Kissing Schmellie on her forehead as I left her apartment.  She was sound asleep and even then she has an irresistibly, intoxicating personality.
3.12.2011:  Opening doors.  Sharing the day with someone who I'm lucky to have met.
3.11.2011:  Seeing the little schmellie one!  Such an incredible little one she is.
3.10.2011:  Being a masochist for wanting the pain and the glory of New York City.
3.9.2011:  Wine tasting with Cligz and Sunshine.  Perfect way to unwind the day.  And then seeing Kevin's plan for his wine store.  Incredible.
3.8.2011:  Being called "directionally brilliant" by Jacques today.  Not quite sure what that means, but it felt good.
3.7.2011:  Asking Hillary what she really thought about our initiative.
3.6.2011:  Seeing how close Iqbal and Nafi are as siblings.  Living together, or even just in the same city, makes such a difference.
3.5.2011:  Catching up with the Harbages.  Such a wonderful family.
3.4.2011:  Hearing Emily read Lindsay's eulogy.  It perfectly encapsulated her life and her as person.  Live life to the fullest.  And use made up words and props.
3.3.2011:  Asking our team if Charmin as a brand is male or female.
3.2.2011:  Chatting with Mary Margaret after our meeting and putting an end to the tension and power struggle.  Sometimes stepping down from your strong point of view makes it so much easier to move forward.
3.1.2011:  Seeing the photo of Brandon with Lindsay that he posted as his Facebook profile.  A day that makes you laugh, think and cry, as Jimmy V. said, is the most fulfilling day you can ask for, and in one moment, seeing that photo made me do all three.
