Good News!

All of you who know me well know that I am an emotional guy.  Well, as I was pulling into my driveway after work on the 179th day of 2019, the radio made me cry.  As I drive home, I often listen to the radio simulcast of the CBS Evening News and, on Fridays, they end with Steve Hartman, "On the Road."  And the story on 6/28/19 was about an 11 year old who started a charity to bring simple wishes to residents of nursing homes (she accompanies her mother, the nurse, there).  The story was just pure goodness and love for her fellow human beings.  It was, after a week of bad news on the TV and in the world, exactly what I needed to hear.  So, the tears were good tears and they are the reason why, tonight, my gratitude is for Good News!  We hear so much bad news an a daily basis and the media sells better with bad news so it's nice to hear the good news when it exists.  I wonder if there were more good news told to us if we would feel better about this world in which we live.  Here's a link to the charity started by this amazing young girl.  Bless her!

Our Family Movie Night to Knives Out!

12/26/19, the 2nd Day of Christmas, and we made it into a Family Movie Night.  On the 360th day of 2019, we went and saw Knives Out! and it was FANTASTIC.  It was a great time out as a family and the movie was as good as advertised (+97% on Rotten Tomatoes).   It just made us all very happy and, because of that, I am grateful for our family movie night to Knives Out!  We have 2-3 more movies we want to see over break, and this was a fine start!

80s Movies

During the Winter Break, we always have a lot of Family Movie Nights.  The 362nd day of 2019 was no different.  But, on 12/28/19, we found 80s movies on the On Demand.  Tonight's selections were Die Hard and St. Elmo's Fire.  CLASSICS!  So happy to be able to share my teenaged movie favorites with my teenager.  I am grateful for 80's movies and the nostalgia they bring up, and the fact that my teen likes them as much as I did/do!

Egg Casserole (from 12/27)

Image
So the 361st day of 2019 brought another Sherr Family Tradition. On 12/27/19,  Sarah  made us the egg casserole recipe that I got from  Beth Hagovsky , a colleague from "the good old days" in Penn Student Affairs. I love the recipe, it is ALWAYS good, and it makes me also remember the community we had way back then, that we still have, occasionally, when we get together, and also as FB friends. The best part about working at Penn has been all of the wonderful people I have met, and this recipe makes me think of them (and, as I said, it is SO GOOD!)  :-)  So, tonight, my gratitude is for Egg Casserole. And the happiness, on so many levels, it provided today.
