I appreciate:

• Dinner with the Delaney girls last night. Fills my heart (and my belly!) right up!
• Getting out for a walk before 8 this morning – still not too hot and such a nice little breeze. Oh, and people are really friendly at that time of day! Everyone says, “Good morning!” (Even the little 6-year old playing in his yard shyly grinned and waved as I walked by. So sweet!)
• The strangeness of this arrow painted on the sidewalk, seemingly pointing to these steps. Is everyone who walks here supposed to visit the people in this house!?
• The courage I see in my friends (and myself!) to acknowledge patterns of thought and behavior that are no longer working and strive to find a better way.
• The huge leaves of this tree that hang down over the sidewalk. They are so velvety! I think it has white flowers in the spring…do you know what kind of tree it is?
