1/12/2013 - My Love of Numbers

Today was lucky dozen-th day....Day 12 of Lucky year 2013. A day filled with basketball...from Anna's Rec Game (win) to Alexa's Rec Game (win) to a Penn Women/Men's Doubleheader at Princeton (loss & loss)......BUT, throughout the day, I was reminded by how lucky I am that my parents instilled in me a love of numbers. I guess it was inevitable. Both were math majors and did meet via math classes at Penn, so of course I would end up loving numbers....but today was great for numbers....This morning, at Dunkin' Donuts, the bill was $16.16 and our order number was 818. We passed 22222 on the van's odometer....and we (Alexa and I) noticed that, when Penn was losing 42-24 in the game, there was 15:51 left on the game clock....nice, huh? Now, before you make fun of me, you knew that in the 365 daily luckies, there would be some geeky ones . Hope you are all having a great weekend!

6/1/13 - Anna Victoria Sherr

Day #152 of lucky year 2013 is 6/1/2013. Day #152 of 2004 was also VERY lucky for us. Anna Victoria Sherr was born and what a joy she is and continues to be! I am so proud of how she is growing up - she makes me laugh, she makes me see the good in life, she makes me so happy. It goes without saying that what I feel lucky for today is this beautiful daughter of mine.

5/8/13 - Cleansing Rain

5/8/2013 - Day #128 of lucky year 2013. Today, I feel lucky for the cleansing power of rain. Sure, it was frustrating the way that Mother Nature played games with us today - sunny/pouring/sunny/sprinkles/partly sunny/POURING - but the rain seems to have washed away much of the pollen that has been causing me great nasal distress....so tonight, I am breathing better and for that, I feel lucky.

5/11/13 - Miss Shernoff's Wedding

Today was day 131 of lucky year 2013. Now, 131 is a palindrome so you KNEW it would be a good day. And it was, spent with family, meaning even more since I will be working much of the next two days (including Mother's Day) because of Graduation events.....I REALLY felt lucky tonight when Sarah and her mom, Winnie Walters were playing beautiful music at Miss Shernoff's wedding. Not only did their music move me (as it usually does), but I was able to see the joy in Anna and her friend's faces as they were able to attend the ceremony and see one of their favorite teachers get married. Best comment overheard "I am pinching myself so I know this is not a dream!" This pure joy is exactly what I feel a wedding should be about. And the music, and the girls' reactions brought that joy to the forefront. Amen!
