Year 1, Day 11: sidewalk chalk, hazelnut cocoa, this cool rock

1. I appreciate sidewalk chalk. I mean, really, what’s not to like?
2. I appreciate Ghiradelli Chocolate Hazelnut cocoa mix, which has no dairy and can be added to my favorite breakfast beverage for a spectacular (and inexpensive) mocha at home! Did I mention yum??
3. I appreciate this cool rock. The edge of the colored part reminds me of a butterfly. Oh — which I appreciated yesterday! Hahaha. πŸ™‚

Year 1, Day 10: my mug, couch, butterflies

I appreciate:

1. My Rocky Mountain National Park mug which not only holds my most favorite breakfast beverage, but also reminds me of our wonderful family trip last summer.
2. My purple couch which is not only comfy, but is purple. Purple!
3. Butterflies. They are just fun to watch. I like ’em. πŸ™‚

Year 1, Day 9: Sara, perfect timing, office space

1. I am soooo grateful for Sara who is not only the very best assistant/colleague a girl could ask for, but is also brilliant, funny and adorable. I am thrilled to count her among my dear friends!
2. I appreciate the beautiful way things work out. With no prior discussion, I showed up at work with 2 coffees, and Sara showed up with a delicious gluten-free muffin and locally-grown raspberries to share. Perfection!
3. I appreciate my new office space downtown. The ideal location and set-up for me and my businesses. πŸ™‚

Year 1, Day 8: massage, uke, support network

1. I am grateful for the massage I got this morning! Thanks, Jen!
2. I appreciate my awesome tenor uke – even though I still can’t really play it. πŸ˜›
3. I am so grateful for my vast support network…whether I’m trying to solve a parenting issue, understand css, write more songs, achieve better health…I have so many people I can turn to. Lucky me! πŸ™‚

Year 1, Day 4: coffee genius, rocks, glasses

1. I am so grateful to the genius minds that figured out that roasting coffee beans and pouring hot water over them would yield the most delicious, invigorating brew… Yum.
2. I appreciate the beautiful things in my office: Georgia O’Keeffe calendar, Muppets poster, paintings & photos by various family members, talismans from traveling friends, rocks of all shapes and colors.
3. I appreciate my glasses – without which I couldn’t read anything!

Year 1, Day 3: purring, GF bread, flexible job

  1. Grateful for Cimmy and her purr-purr-purring way of waking me up.
  2. Grateful for Udi gluten-free bread and a quick easy breakfast!
  3. I appreciate my flexible job which allows me to work from home or at the office depending on how I feel. Today I’m at home — mere footsteps away from a nap if I should need it! πŸ™‚

Year 1, Day 2: RMSS memories, sleep, missing Katie

1. Grateful for RMSS memories floating around me and infusing my day with randomΒ happy thoughts (like watching the meteor blaze across the sky while listening to music at Camp Waylay and like Bethel Steele sandwich hugs that left me breathless with laughter and love).
2. I so appreciate my soft bed, freshly laundered sheets (thank you, dear) and the luxury of sleeping 10 hours!!
3. I appreciate loving Katie Korpi so much that despite having spent 12 straight days with her, I already miss her now that she’s back at school! β™₯
