Even though I am not a viewer of Jimmy Fallon’s show (though I think he is funny as all get out and cute as a button) I loved the idea when I heard it of his doing a segment every Friday called Thank You notes. It struck a chord with me. I am trying to live a life that is focused on gratitude. I focus too much on the things in my day that ticked me off or got my dander up and never on those little moments that made me smile or bought joy to my day. I remember the story that was about a man that had to find one thing each day to be thankful for in order to cheat death. Sounds so simple yet so hard.
Thank you notes for the week of December 25th
Thank you Baby Jesus for being my salvation and my light and for having such an awesome birthday.
Thank you Apple for once again getting me hooked on your kool aid with your awesome invention of Apple TV. I am sooooooo addicted to streaming video and music now from my iPhone and iPad on my TV.

And since every post needs a picture. Here is a sneak peek from my editing this week of Ahema and Kwame’s wedding. Can’t wait to share.





Isabel - I give thanks to FaceTime. Chatting with you in the morning is good medicine…a swift kick in the arse, at times…and overall fabulously fun – hairpins and all. I also give thanks to Tiger Mother — if anything, for the extra laughs we get out of the name. I give much thanks and appreciation for a friend like you.
Here’s to an awesome 2012!
