I appreciate:

• The new designs coming in for my logo contest (and the fact that they gave me 2 extensions so I could deal with our family health issues. So great!). The latest designs are so close to just what I wanted!
• The forecast for 73º next Saturday. OMG yes!
• Getting to play with some of my favorite people ever in TWO sets at HUGE tonight. Lucky, lucky, lucky me.

I appreciate:

• Today’s meditation and talk at HUGE. Thank you for arranging that, Sarah Brown!
• Working on our super-cool, work-in-progress form for tomorrow’s Blue Jays at Improv-a-Go-Go. So much fun to work with these bright, talented, wonderful people!
• Down time. Blissful.

I appreciate:

• The blue sky I can see from my office window. What a welcome sight.
• Breathing. Balancing my thoughts.
• Cat curled up on a pink chair. Comfort.
• I appreciate the prettiness of last night’s snow… no matter how ridiculous an April 18th snowstorm… (Thanks for the pic, Katie !)

I appreciate:

• Last night’s improv class with Jim DeSimone. Between that and Lauren Anderson’s boot camp, I am going to whip my improv-butt into shape. Improv-butt??
• Looking forward to Sunday’s Blue Jays at Improv-a-Go-Go extravaganza. How lucky I am to get to play in not one, but TWO sets this weekend!
• Pam Guthrie’s friend’s post: “Happy February 76th!” Hahahaha! Surely the sun will return some day, right?

I appreciate:

• My “new” office. It’s so great to have a space at home that is comfortable and easy to work in!
• Both labradorite and
• Chatoyancy (descriptive of one of labradorite’s qualities). Beautiful stone, fun-to-say word!

I appreciate:

• Helpers of all kinds.
• Last night’s hilarious and honest, sharp-witted and silly, beguiling and beautiful Show X.
• And I might appreciate that I didn’t sleep well last night…maybe I’ll sleep through the MRI!

I appreciate:

• That Sunday’s rain sleet rain rain rain left my car looking cleaner than before it began.
• That the sun peeked out between the clouds for a few minutes today. At least I think it was the sun. Big yellowish thing in the sky. Sun, right?
• That I only have to have a naked nose (for the MRI) for one day. It feels so strange

I appreciate:

The fact that Miss R asked Katie, “Do you want to go get your sister, Aunt Dinana?” the other day. Awesome on SO many levels!

Helpful tests and clever people who are working with me on my new health adventure: the return of pericarditis. Aha. THAT explains a lot of my challenges these past few months…

Pizza Luce’s spinach salad. Seriously. Yum.

That I get to play in a show at HUGE again tonight! How cool is that?!

The forest of flowers Patrick Boyle brought home to me to cheer me up on Friday. Sweet man!

Cats. They’re just good fun.

I appreciate:

• Getting to work with RLO-Rachel Loeslie Organizing to make my office navigable and pleasant to work in. No more working at the dining room table!
• My brother’s description of his memory, from an email last night: “…a bit less than spectacularly accurate.” (Oh, and happy birthday, Jeff. It’s your birthday today. In case you forgot…)
• New improv classes starting this week for Katie and me. Fun fun fun fun fun!

I appreciate:

• The weirdness of thundersnow. (Not the ACTUAL snow, which was kind of a bummer to drive in this morning!)
• The weirdness of seeing this fly crawling on top of the snow. He looked cold.
• Despite the yucky drive, I do appreciate how pretty the trees look with the heavy snow on them. Stunning.
