Appreciations Year Three: Day 283
This story of a dog learning to ride a bicycle and his human who clearly loves him.
Clean laundry, and living room, and kitchen, oh my!
Sunny sunny sunshine and a sweet little walk around the neighborhood with Katie with a bonus of the last of the french lilacs’ scent wafting through the air.
Rorschach clouds by Katie. 🙂
Receiving fun phone messages, planning plans, going with the flow, changing course, doodling, breathing.
Appreciations Year Three: Day 282
Discovering Gravity Glue. These awe-inspiring and beautiful sculptures and photos by Michael Grab fill me with a sense of wonder and peace. Now that is a kind of meditation I could totally get into!
Getting to work with people I really, really like and support them in work that I think is super cool. What a good job!
My kids. I love listening to their goofy banter, hanging out with them, knowing them. I am so lucky. ❤
The guy directing traffic in the liquor store parking lot who was dressed up in pantaloons and a plumed hat, and did awesome fancy-dancy moves to direct the cars. Stones, rainbow shoelaces, synchronicities, Schenectady (it is just so fun to say!), peppermint.
Appreciations Year Three: Day 281
Wonderful conversation with sweet Timmy. How I love having friends like Timmy who are on a sometimes parallel-ish journey and with whom it is so easy to reconnect no matter how many days-weeks-months it has been since our last conversation. ❤ ❤ ❤
Doing things that scare and excite me. What a cool adventure this whole life thing is.
My continually evolving relationship with acceptance, good-enough, should, imperfection, mistakes, shame, grace, joy. I love the little part of my brain that thinks at some point I will “get it right”! Oh, brain, you are so funny!
Appreciations Year Three: Day 280
Kent and LALA, who are silly and lovely and sweet and who make me smile and laugh on a regular basis. ❤
My JimmyD friends who make me laugh out loud even when I don’t get to see them in person.
Smarter Every Day and Mental Floss videos. What a good way to spend the evening. (Not as good as improv class, but more restful at least. You’re welcome, immune system.)
Goofy cat antics, attics, attachments, parchment, getting lost in thoughts, flocks of sheep, badminton.
Appreciations Year Three: Day 279
Lovely visit with the Delaneys and the gang at the castle yesterday. So much big love in a short little space of time. ❤
The way it sounds when it starts raining really hard. Downpour!
A most amicable, amazing, and amusing lunch with Amy today! 😀
Feeling better — able to work for a few hours today. Hooray!
Stopping work and watching Big Hero 6 with the kids. Yup, that’s the kind of awesome house I live in. 😉
Nice chat with my brother this evening. I’m so excited they are moving back to MN!!
New ideas, goofy friends, feeling optimistic, dishwashers, chickadees, perfect putts that you really don’t have the skill to make, but make anyway.
Appreciations Year Three: Day 278
Tylenol. Ohhhh how much I appreciate that today.
My dad and his willingness to hunt down good deals and offer excellent advice on computer shopping. 🙂
Laid back evening hanging out with the kids. ❤
Sunshine peeking out after a rainy weekend. Hello, sunshine!
Pillows, quilts and blankets, comfy robes, slippers, socks, so many comforting things for snuggling. Sweet.
Appreciations Year Three: Day 277
Heating pad to soothe achy muscles and hot tea to soothe a sore throat.
Figuring out that sometimes when you sleep 4-5 hours more than usual in a given day, it means your immune system is busy, not that you’re just tired. 😉
Rainy weekend for making days of napping and resting seem like the exactly right option (though I’m sorry for those of you whose plans were adversely affected by the rain!).
Nice little visit from my folks today. How sweet that they brought me flowers!
These sounds: rain on the roof, cats purring and snoring, quiet clock ticking in a still house, cars driving through puddles and making splashy splashy sounds.
Appreciations Year Three: Day 276
The intoxicating smell and beautifully dainty shape of French lilacs. Amazing.
Comfortable, easy visits with David that help me remember not to take things so seriously. 😉
The strange and surreal quality of my day… Waking up at 11:40, did a few errands and some work, fell back to sleep around 4 (I mean asleep asleep). I love having enough energy to do my stuff these past couple weeks, but holy moly weekends sure seem to be about rest and rejuvenation. So much sleeping!
Orbeez gift from Leah to the fairies. We love these little surprises and getting to play fairy with her. ❤
Sandy beaches, sandals, painted toenails, glitter, ducks.
