I have THE BEST Mom!

I love my mom. She is the best woman in the world. She does cool little things for me (and for everyone!) Here's her latest Proof of Awesomeness:

I came home Saturday morning from my tri (more on that later) and in the mailbox was a big manila envelope addressed to me, from my mom. I opened up the envelope to find a white t-shirt with this cute little drawing on it of a paddle, bike and hiking boots. Below the drawing it said "Diversified Portfolio."

Is my mom awesome or WHAT!?!? She definitely knows how to make her daughter's day!!

And since I know you read this, Mom... I miss you, I love you, and I am convinced you are THE BEST MOM. EVER!!!!! :)

a little zen for you

I got this in an email forward. Loved it. (For me, it's God, for you, it may be Ganesh, Allah, the universe, etc.)

I believe God answers prayer in one of three ways:

1) Yes.
2) Not yet.
3) I have something better in mind.
