Letter to 2014

Thank you for...

• the steady beat of Husband's heart
• coffee
• our families
• our family of friends, far and near
• Shenanigans
• the beautiful dream of being a Fairy Ninja, even though it never comes true
• surfing, in spite of Alberta, twice
• laughter, in spite of restraining orders
• Lactaid
• coffee
• the smell of new books
• every grey hair on Jesse's precious nose
• fine, I suppose Meeker, too, if you insist
• winter tires
• yes, okay, and Fritti
• decaf double espresso half-sweet vanilla soy lattes, easy foam and with just a whisper of nutmeg, served in real china mugs in a proper coffee house without brand names or souvenir stands or people with only first names. 
• and Starbucks, because old habits die hard.
