I appreciate:

• Kids who are wiling to join me in the fight against clutter. So many wins for today!
• Americano from Royal Grounds Coffee. What a delicious treat!
• Alison, the lovely barista who, when I asked for a gi-normous vessel of Americano, offered to go find me a 5-gallon bucket. She really gets me.

I appreciate:

• Completing a task that’s been on the to-do list for forever. Hooray!
• My great good fortune to know the people I know. Seriously, sometimes I can’t even believe it.
• Babysitting that ends up being super fun playtime with my favorite little one and a personal concert by one of my favorite musicians on the planet. — with Ellis.

I appreciate:

• The way timing always works out — meetings get moved and events happen right when they are supposed to. I love when it is easy like that.
• Being appreciated (more meta fun!). Especially when I wasn’t expecting it.
•  Wool socks! I finally found mine. Happy, happy feet.

I appreciate:

• Appreciating things. (Hahaha – so meta!) I love knowing that even on a craptacular day, at some point I’m going to find something about it that was good – even if I do put it off until the day is over…
• Omega gummies. For the grown up AND the kid in me.
• Toby’s weird reaction to anything new — including noises. Yes, we entertain ourselves by making weird sounds and watching Toby try to figure out what is happening…

I appreciate:

• How you never know when or where you’ll meet the next amazing person to fill up another beautiful corner of your life.
• Looking forward to a heatwave with 19º predicted for Thursday — and 36º for Friday. That’s above freezing, folks!
• Gluten-free Meyer lemon scones.

I appreciate:

• House,
• working furnace,
• blankets,
• kitties,
• tea.

I appreciate:

• The Tiny Funny Women Fest. So many fascinating conversations, insights, and ideas. So much really good improv.
• The huge luxury of working from home tomorrow. Stay safe you people who have to go out!
• Popcorn. Late night yum.

I appreciate:

• The brave souls who came to HUGE early and did laughter yoga with me this morning. Y’all are born laughers!
• Getting to see Sarah! Yay! Thank you for the chauffeur/key relocating help.
• Knowing that I can balance a clementine on my head — and Katie, for bringing that fact to my attention.

I appreciate:

• My mastermind group. Brilliant women sharing their ideas with me. I love it!
• Box o’ Toby.
• TFWF! Starts tomorrow. Whoopee!

I appreciate:

• Raspberry Hibiscus tea. Warm and sweet and mmmmm.
• Sunshine! It may be cold, but at least it’s sunny!
• Reading through all the good things that happened in 2013 (Yes, there was actually good stuff amidst the chaos and drama…) My favorite thing: remembering that I sunk an 18-foot putt when we played golf up in Grand Rapids. That is really fun to remember! (And yes, Ivan, it is also fun to remember your 30-foot putt from the same game!)
