100. Adventuring out in the jungle of our front yard.
101. Gorillas at play with silverware made from sticks.
102. Names my adventurers have chosen for themselves: Jack and Hannah.
103. Boy so proud at himself for sharpening a pencil at both ends, and my own remembered pleasure of teaching Lord of the Flies. Wild and complicated, boys we humor ourselves that we are shaping.
104. Roasted chicken sandwich on ciabatta bread. Cranberry sauce improves anything.
105. Dinner mostly from the grill means two of three kids actually eat something two days in a row.
106. Lunch at the bar in the basement.
107. Legos, rediscovered.
108. Indiana Jones scene recreated in miniature.

111. Empty laundry basket for a moment.
112. Netflix working again for the moment.
113. Remembering to put socks on after shower and moisturizing feet.
114. Thinking I might walk on the treadmill. A start.
115. Happy affirmation email.
116. Poems rescued from old laptop.
117. Wonder of wonders: entire contents of computer fits on one tiny thumbdrive.
118. Purple People Bridge. Finally talked family into walking across it with me. Don't even care that we had to wait out rainstorm on a sad little bench underneath on the other side. In fact, think it may help them remember it more.
119. One new book for each kid at the bookstore.
120. Sunshine after rain.
121. Quiet time on the deck with my best friend husband.
122. Spinning with my boy in my arms, blond hair afluff in the breeze. "Again!"
