(from 3/21) I am so grateful for my email-typing, text-managing, phone-call making, amazingly supportive Katie! And her spectacular partner in crime, Cina.
Getting to go home and Sleep. In. My. Own. Bed!!
Laura, who met us at the door with dinner…for at least a week! Holy moly what a scrumptious smorgasbord!! 
Sara for jumping right in and taking over Skynote work so I can rest. What a rockstar!!
(from 3/20) Sunshine after the snow.
Coffee!!!!!!! (Couldn’t have any yesterday. Today I can.) 😉
This amazing card from Ruby. She didn’t color it in in case I wanted to!! :
(from 3/19) The diligent, delightful, and darling staff in the ER and cardiac unit at the hospital. Together we did important work, and somehow had so much fun. ❤❤❤
Terri & Ellis, Sarah, Jeff & Laura, Sara, and my mom and dad (who came to the hospital at 2 am!) for their unflagging love and support, and all the big and small acts of kindness. ❤❤❤
Katie, Cina, and Mckenzie for staying with me the whole night (they left the hospital at 6 am after I’d been admitted!), and for being so incredibly reassuring, funny, and supportive. ❤❤❤
(From 3/18) The awesome mood ring Katie and Cina bought for me. It even has my name so I will remember who I am. 🙂
Super fun day with the kids including delicious breakfast, fun shopping at IKEA and movie night.
Being alive! When my heart went into v-fib (which caused cardiac arrest), my ICD came to the rescue and shocked me back to life! And then when my heart decided to try out a-fib and my heart rate spiked at 230, the ICD sprang to the rescue again. I am so grateful for this device. I am also so grateful for the lightning-fast ambulance response and the amazing EMTs, doctors, lab techs and everyone else who helped us through that night.
Fabulous meeting with Sara at Shish yesterday – so productive and fun! Delicious food, great service, and the most hilarious music from long ago. Sara said we must’ve been listening to the Forgotten Music Station. I felt like I was 10 years old and had to keep reminding myself that we were having a meeting and it wasn’t time to dance. 😀
Another awesome meeting with John this morning – more good work peppered with sweetness and fun. I like my job!
Finishing the kitchen backsplash project. Yippee! It looked so fresh and pretty when it was done, but before all the stuff was back. Still looks pretty good, though. 😉
The fun of running errands in pouring rain last night. Our first really rainy day of the season. How lovely to be out in it for a bit!
Finally getting some work done on the kitchen backsplash project. Hooray! It’s been in its unfinished state for sooooo long. What a relief to finally be getting it spruced up!
Remembering more sweet details of my visit with Sarah last weekend: truly gorgeous wind chimes – beautifully deep and sonorous, but somehow soft and vibrant, too; the sweet golden retriever puppy trotting up to the fence to say hello, tail awag and nuzzling our hands for petting; Ida, happily sitting on the sidewalk, taking things out of my purse one by one and handing them to me or Sarah. 
Misty, rainy, cozy mornings.
The wisdom and wit of L M Montgomery’s Anne. Things like, “It’s delightful when your imaginations come true, isn’t it?” It surely is. 😀
My green onions seem to know there’s more daylight nowadays…. they’re sending up new shoots and are about 3 inches taller than they were just a few days ago! Holy growth spurt, Batman!
The misty jigsaw puzzle of ice breaking up on Lake Calhoun this morning. Beautiful.
Pie for Pi Day. Gluten-free and everything!
Luna, sleeping in her newly decorated box. 🙂
Sarah, who always tells me about or reminds of books I should read…like Anne of Green Gables. I haven’t read it in sooooo long. What a great book! 😀
The joy of little things. Like the deepening sherbet colors of the sky as Terri & I drove to the play last night, the whisper of Luna’s whiskers on my face when she cuddles absurdly close, the sound of a little kid squealing as she runs down the street. What a gift it is to have senses and to take in and notice these little things.
Friends who say brilliant and beautiful things like, “Look at the sky! It looks like sherbet!” and who share my joy of little things. 🙂
The funny off-kilter feeling of today’s time change – both because of the change itself and because I still haven’t changed ALL the clocks, so time goes back and forth a little depending on what room I’m in. Hahaha!
The goofy word games and stories Mckenzie and I make up when we’re doing errands.
My newest “No Soliciting” sign. I do love to draw and color and make friendly signs. 🙂
Deeply delightful visit with Sarah and Ida this morning. What a gorgeous morning for a walk! So so so great to reconnect with kindred spirits. 😀
Truly entertaining evening with Terri seeing Legally Blond at Washburn HS. So much fun on so many levels!
