Photoshop Elements and the fun of playing and learning. 😀
Coconut, which shows up in a lot of my gluten-free and dairy-free foods — and which is truly delicious.
Sunny warm weather, perfect for walks and working on the yard!

Appreciations Year Three: Day 274
Walking around our neighborhood with my kids. Great talk, gorgeous gardens, beautiful weather. Perfect!
Improving energy — enough to work, go for a walk, spend some time looking for a job, go to class, and socialize after class! Almost like the good ol’ pre-health-craziness days. 🙂
Feeling hopeful and optimistic. What a comfort it is to live in that space!
Alison for her ability to make me laugh, smile, giggle, ponder, wonder, aspire, hope, blush, consider, stretch and grow. I love her quick and wry sense of humor, her goofiness, her big, generous open heart, her beautiful smile, infectious laugh, and excellent hugs, her directness, candor, and sweetness. Among other things. 😉 How lucky I am to be surrounded by wonderful people like her in my life! ❤
Dandelions, lions, Lyons, Colorado, donuts, dodos, cheetahs.
Appreciations Year Three: Day 273
Pam. Her words, her thoughts, her wry observations lift me up every day and help me keep doing what I intend to, even when habit or mood or energy threaten to shift me off course. So much love for this wonderfully wise, wildly witty, wondrously warm, woman! ❤ (I mean this gloriously genuine, greatly good, gleefully generous gal. I mean this decidedly delightful, divertingly darling, daringly droll dame. I mean this supremely smart, satisfyingly sassy, shockingly sweet sister.) 😉
Alliteration. Yeah, I really do like that. 😛
Cinnamon.
Appreciations Year Three: Day 272
Lisa, for getting me the awesome teaching gig, and for making the whole process such a delight from start to finish! And for the super fun talk we had afterward. What a fascinating, funny, fabulous lady! ❤
The terrific people who came to the workshops today – especially those who were nervous and unsure, but who jumped right in there anyway. Way to go, you brave souls! What a fun day!
These pretty flowers, whatever they are. Every time I pass them, they look bigger and more friendly! 🙂
Drinking glasses – especially colored ones, vision-correcting glasses (which make it possible for me to see what I am typing RIGHT NOW), sunglasses, glassware, glassy-smooth lakes, pizza.
Appreciations Year Three: Day 271
The heady scent of the lilacs I cut from our bush and put on a vase on my desk.
Getting promoted to “moderately anemic” due to my improving numbers. Yay!
Learning that getting out of the anemia zone will also help my heart function — so maybe I can get that EF back up over 25%. Wouldn’t that be amazing!!!!
The fun challenge of putting together an improv workshop with a very specific goal and intended for non-improvisers…and only 50 minutes long. 🙂 What a fun and interesting task!
Secret passages, dead ends that let you know it is time to turn around and look for something different, labyrinth walks, cuckoo clocks, TED talks.
Appreciations Year Three: Day 270
Lying down when the dizzy gets too spinny. Oh the joy of couch time!
Recovering enough from the spinny to make it to musical improv rehearsal. I love this!
Making new friends.
Storms, strawberries, stickers, starlight, stepping stones (literal and figurative), stunts, style.
Appreciations Year Three: Day 269
Drawing party with David and the Duncan girls. What fun!
Really good improv time with the Haha ladies. 😉
Finding misplaced things.
Funny people, fresh produce, fancy plans, faraway places, figgy pudding. Okay, I’ve never actually tried figgy pudding, but it fits the pattern. And I’d probably like it.
Appreciations Year Three: Day 268
5/15/15. What an excellent date. I wasn’t awake at 5:15 am, but do look forward to 5:15:15 on 5/15/15.
Looking forward to goofy things.
Paper airplanes that glide really well.
Honey, the Philadelphia Story, (Oh, C. K. Dexter Haven!), ruby slippers, abalone, Ali Baba, sesame seeds, chickadees, Mae West.
Appreciations Year Three: Day 267
Trying new things.
A wonderful, if brief, visit with the Duncan girls. Fills my little heart right up with love. ❤
Another fabulously fun JimmyD experience. Nothing like an evening of make-em-ups, adult beverages and comestibles, and comedy – because despite what JimmyD tells us, we are funny.
Lilacs, lip balm, linguistics, laughing, lurking, larks.
Appreciations Year Three: Day 266
Noticing new flowers every time I walk around my neighborhood. Pretty!
Adding the B-52’s and Blondie to my iTunes library. What a void there was before now!
Sparkly things.
