Snow! I know it snarled up the traffic, but it sure is pretty. 🙂
Holiday lights. Makes driving around at night more fun. (And by night, I mean any time after 4:30…..)
Singing! Another performance coming up this weekend. Fun!
Month: November 2015
Appreciations 4.101
Another day of resting. Curious how much I’ve needed the past week. Hmmm.
Netflix. Makes a day of resting more fun. 🙂
One little project done: Mckenzie and I managed to get the scratching post re-wrapped! Happy kitties, happy couch. 😉
Appreciations 4.100 – the first hundred days of the 4th year
100! I remember thinking when I started this fourth year of daily appreciations that maybe it was time to take a break… and then thinking how strange it would be to stop. Even though there are days when finding that silver lining is more challenging than others, there is something very comforting about making the effort, and about knowing that even when the good things are hard to see, there are always, always at least 3 things to appreciate about any given day. That is a truly wonderful thing to know. ♥
A quiet day for lots of resting and sleeping. I don’t know why I’ve been so much more fatigued than usual the past week, but it sure is nice to have the opportunity to rest as much as I seem to need.
Managing to get a few little taskies done that have been waiting and waiting and WAITING for me to pay attention to them. How much lighter it feels to have tended to them! 🙂
Another early night. So strange for this little night-owl to fall asleep before 10 pm! I sure am glad I am able to when the need arises.

Terrific meeting with Jerilyn this morning. How exciting to have support, encouragement, and a plan for my new project!
Wonderful dinner with the whole family at Jeff & Laura’s. So great to see everyone. (And to get some of Laura’s amazingly delicious gluten-free pulla. Yum!) It was so so so much fun hanging out after dinner and playing silly games. I appreciate and like my family so much!!
Gluten-free stuffing that tastes like stuffing. Yay! And since I’m the only one here who’ll eat it I have enough for the whole next week! 😀
Appreciations 4.98: Thanksgiving…Business as usual!
Quiet morning sitting on the couch, watching the beautiful snow.
Busy afternoon cooking today’s meal with Mckenzie and Katie.
Lovely dinner with the kids and relaxing fun evening with our little motley crew, all of whom I love and appreciate so much. ❤
The funny feeling that I should somehow write something profound for a Thanksgiving Day gratitude post… which I then ignore in favor of going to bed early – forgetting even to post it on the big day! Hahaha. 😉

Reconnecting with the ever energetic, smart, funny, engaging Jerilyn. What a fun conversation we had yesterday! What a joy to reconnect with her! 🙂
Looking forward to spending time with Pam today as she receives the Elixir of Radiant Life. Spending time with Pam always makes me feel happier, wiser, centered. How lucky am I to know her! ❤
Tazo Calm Chamomile tea. It is so comforting and soothing when my tummy is unsettled.

The comfort of hot tea.
The comfort of pillows, blankets, kitties, napping.
Just enough energy to get the most needed work done for clients before all the napping. 🙂

I so appreciate all the time my dad & brother took installing the new storm door. They are so generous with their time, energy, and expertise!
Meeting clients at my favorite coffee shop. There are so so so many reasons I love my work!
Exciting rehearsal with the Earthtones – just one more rehearsal before our December shows start. 🙂
Appreciations 4.94: Breathtaking Beauty
Luxurious and unstructured morning for drawing and listening to my audio book. So nice to have some down time during which rest wasn’t required. 😛
An exciting afternoon of writing. I started out just tweaking a few worksheets I’ve developed to use with clients the past year or so and found myself writing, um, the introduction and first chapter of my book. Apparently. 😀
Simply stunning Nordic Contemplative service. I’m generally not much of a churchgoer, but the music and the prayers were perfect in every way. The stunning sounds from the Norwegian Hardanger fiddle filled me with awe – how could so many wonderful sounds be coming from ONE instrument? Then Peggy‘s unbelievably beautiful kulokks and improvised songs sent chills all over me and filled me up with the most wonderful peace. It was all I could do not to sit there weeping. I told her it’s a good thing I don’t live with her because I would ask her to sing all day every day! 😉
And then the joy, oh the joy, of singing with my beloved Earthtones again. What an utterly blissful experience. I know a LOT of words…and yet, am at a loss to describe the breathtaking beauty of the evening. 🙂

Sunshine.
My wonderful visit to MIA with Sarah and Ida this morning! So fun to spend time with the girls, and it was really cool to see the amazing new pieces in the Japanese collection. Wow! I loved seeing and learning about Rosetsu’s Chinese Children at Play.
Help from my dad and Tom with the storm door project.
