#176 - My Aunt as Motivation to Watercolor Paint - because she will paint with me
#177 - Writing an Appreciation Note - I'd been meaning to for a few weeks
#178 - Musicians that Can Make Any Song Good (or so it seems)- When Jason Mraz plays Lionel Richie - I like it (which I listened to today). I've heard the Brothers Frantzich play many songs I otherwise didn't like, but when they played it, suddenly they were magical.
#179 - I just learned my friend designed his B.A. degree in '97 to be "Social Renewal"
#180 - "Whoever invented blankets that was wonderful" - my aunt
"Social Renewal"- this looks like a familiar term.
