Last night did not go as planned, but my roommate and I did make a miraculous discovery. We are experts at the game of catching small food items in your mouth. We should work as a circus duo with our an uncanny ability in the game of catching Goldfish cracker. I am the catcher, and she is the thrower. It does NOT work the other way. I cannot throw, and she cannot catch. But when placed in its proper order, we are unstoppable. We have got a rhythm that is quite extraordinary, if you ask me. After practicing for awhile in our room, we took our side show to the crowds, showing our other roommates and friends. The pressure of the spotlight did not halter our abilities. In fact, it seemed to only enhance them. We have developed quite a knack for this game, and we are thinking of filming our success and putting it online. I mean, we even managed to make it work with a cherry tomato. We are planning on moving on to Sour Patch Kids next...Watch out, world. We might just be the next lame America's Got Talent contestants.

Then, today, brought another little thing. I finally finished up all of my to-do list for the week, and the entire day felt like a Friday. Thank you, odd BYU schedule. For the first time in a very long time, I felt this peace and relaxation sweep over me. I do not have to go to work. I do not have to edit papers. I do not have worry about my observation hours anymore. I can set aside my homework for a day. I can listen to music and feel completely at ease. I can do all of my favorite, odd, little tasks, like organizing my sock drawer and washing my sheets. (That sounds OCD. I promise it's not. :P ) I can take time for Amy. Those words rarely appear in the same sentence together, but today, they finally do.

So today, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I am simply grateful for the little things like catching food in your mouth with an amazing roommate and feeling peace settle back into your skin. I am grateful for the little moments in life that make you laugh and smile. And that is the musing of a marvelous me.
