sunglasses-squadBeing part of the sunglasses squad. I like these people so much!

The way the air smells outside after a rain.

Walking.

Amazing gardens near me. I love that so many neighbors’ front yards are all or mostly garden! 42nd garden.JPG

Breathing.

Finding pools of calm and joy even during darker days.

Beautiful friends reaching out to see how I’m doing.

Appreciations 4.287 – magnificent human beings

Oh my wonderful, darling clients. I am continually amazed at my good fortune to get to work with such magnificent human beings. 😀

Debb's giftDennis’s sweet, funny card, and Debb’s sweet surprise gift that came in the mail today! Remember those magnificent human beings I told you about?! It’s not just my clients. ❤

Great gullywashing rain. What fun to sit on my couch and watch it come down!

Appreciations 4.286 – dinosaurs!

Coffee and cats in the morning. ❤

TinosaurAll the sense-treats from a walk through my neighborhood. So many delicious smells and sounds and sights. In one little walk this evening I passed a butterfly habitat in progress, people riding a tandem bike, kids playing catch, someone practicing saxophone, about a dozen little free libraries, and, of course, a tiny dinosaur (the dreaded tinosaur). 😀 I also love the fun mix of single-family homes, apartments, and cool independent shops. I love my neighborhood!

Tea and tabbies at bedtime. ❤

Appreciations 4.285 – dreamy sleep

7+ hours of sleep! Hooray! As I was in that dreamy, just-about-to-sleep state, I giggled to myself, thinking, “Oh, yay! I’m falling asleep!!” Haha!

Luna and her non-existent sense of personal space. Eeek! 😀

Past Diana who made a whole bunch of chicken stock and put it in the freezer — so today’s Diana could just throw in a bunch of veggies for a quick and tasty soup. Thanks, smartie!

Switching out my old habit of calling myself mean names for my new habit of calling myself fun names like smartie, sweetie, and hot stuff. Hahaha!
