Two in One, Baby!

Welcome to my regular Thursday Thanks column! First things first though, and I have a photo challenge due! Today's challenge is letting the world know what your favorite television show is via photograph. SO here is a picture of the cast of Modern Family, my current sitcom of choice:




Now that that's done, here is my list of all the beautiful things that I am thankful for this week:

*The opportunity to introduce new and old friends on my home turf*
*Dollar drink nights*
*Cold press coffee and chai*
*Free tickets to the taping of America's Got Talent*
*My own adventurous spirit*
*Hints of spring, and the humbling reminder that there are things I can not control; like the weather*
*Easy ways to donate what I'm able to help in Japan, or save the animals, or whatever my cause du jour is*
*Inspiring movies like Milk, which re-light the fire on my inner activist*
*Afternoons spent wandering in NE Minneapolis AND Afternoons spent peacefully reading in coffee shops*
*The book Transforming a Rape Culture. I still have 1/3 of it left to read but already it is completely changing the way I perceive media violence and certainly the way I process it*
*Thunderstorms*
*Texts from family members*
*My very, very wonderful friends Anne and Ginger who are doing a MUCH deserved month-long birthday celebration that I really wish I was able to be there for*

Thus concludes my blogging for the days. Until next time, I wish you peace, passion, and love.
