Thank you to Stephanie Affinito for the inspiration to write to something I am thankful for.

Dear Nightstand Lamp,

When I first saw you in the store, I knew I had to have you. You would serve the same function as my current lamp with your light touch power switch, but you promised so much more.

Your ability to charge my phone without a dedicated cord and cube have been nearly life changing and has reduced my nightly arguments with the boys by a few, as they no longer steal the cords from you.

I love the angles of light you provide and ease at which you turn on, no matter my disarray.

I so enjoy finishing my day each evening and starting each day, too, with you right there by my side.
