I read the most awesome book recently called, The Noticer. Author Andy Andrews says that, "The Noticer is rooted in the belief that our time on earth is a gift to be used wisely and one of the best ways to use that gift is by noticing those who have made an impact in our lives". That's what I hope to do this year. I want to notice EVERYTHING for 365 days - All of the God moments in my life - All of the friends and family that surround me - and as always, every bit of the funny that goes on in this world. Hope you enjoy and YOU become a noticer too.

Hot Tea and the Obituaries...







Day #205:

Two incredibly funny stories for your Monday. For starters, I have the hungarian flu once again. Every time I get sick, Chef says "Drink some tea with honey". He swears by this. It MUST be a European thing. So once more, I go in the kitchen, they fix some hot tea with honey I take one sip and that's all. I hate hot tea. I've tried. IT's gross. Tea should only be served cold and with sugar in it. I went back in later on this afternoon to plate up some food and the girls told me I sounded awful. "Of course," was my reply. "I drank the tea." We finally agreed drugs would be better. My other funny story also revolves around my favorite Icelandic friend. He was having a somewhat crappy day, I felt awful, so there wasn't a lot of happy going on in the office. So at a low point, I broke out my Icelandic Newspaper and told him we were about to learn to read. Hearing from the homeland always makes him happy. I picked a page and away we went. He got incredibly tickled when he realized I had picked the Obituaries. "Really? You want to learn to read Icleandic by reading about the dead people?" I felt it was a fitting place to start. Do you remember learning to read English? I don't, so this has been a whole new experience. However, it is getting better. Fun times. :0)

    I am also a big fan of the tea and honey cure! Especially peppermint tea with honey. It really does clear the airways. :)

    I've tried it twice and both times it's nearly killed me. I'm done with that! :0) I miss you terribly. When we get back from Alaska, we're coming to visit!

    YAY! Come before it gets cold. That happens in November, I think.
