I appreciate:

• The people in my life so much. I am surrounded by brilliant, kind, generous, surprising, funny characters at every turn.

• Every day is an adventure! I’m still savoring the lively and ludicrous conversations from the past few days! 🙂
• It was such treat to be able to see all my siblings, nieces and nephews and their partners for the holidays. What a joyful, charming bunch of people!
• I also appreciate the joy of giving and receiving gifts. So much thoughtfulness and inventiveness this year!
• I’m particularly thrilled to have received a personalized cookbook of my mom’s favorites – complete with the stories of how she found (or invented) the recipes. And I deeply touched and amazed by the gift of this beautiful quilt my sister-in-law made for me. ♥
