Appreciations Year Three: Day 294

Perfectly perfect weather for my first “I’m not walking to get somewhere, I’m walking just to walk” walk in a long time! What bliss.

The unbelievably yummy sights and scents provided by the gardens in my neighborhood – especially this year since I’ve not had the time and energy to tend to my own. Thanks, neighbors! ❤

The way tiny little details can be so incredibly pleasing, like the little wind-chime-y sound of my earrings in the wind as I walked. Sweet.

My funny, charming, clever, ambitious, talented, enchanting friends who light up my life, make the world a fascinating place, and, uh, make a little time dinging around on facebook completely worthwhile. 😉

Appreciations Year Three: Day 293

Fun rehearsal with musical improv. Oh, Gloria Martin, how I love you! ❤

Taco Tuesday with Alison (plus Tanqueray, because T) complete with rainbow and super-cool-yet-slightly-weird-car sighting (and conversation with its obsessed owner) and just so much fun and love.

Super cool clouds tonight – awesome patterns and shapes.

The person walking down Lake Street wearing a backpack with foam spikes all over!!!

Apricots. Peanuts in the shell. Honey Soft grass and bare feet. Kitty love.

New ideas, new systems, new ways of doing things and thinking about things.

Good news on so many fronts! Good report from Dad’s surgeon, though we’ll do the definitive happy dance after the PET scan; Katie’s internship at CTC – what a great opportunity. So excited for my girl! And working with Melinda, I am feeling better than I have in weeks. What a relief!

That thrilling moment when there were no emails in my Action folder…and yes, it was literally a moment. 😉

Cozy rainy morning and sweetly sunny afternoon. What a great day!

Finishing invoices on the first day of the month. Very likely the only time this has happened in the past 8 or 9 years… 😛

Completely gorgeous weather — again!
