I appreciate:

1. The carrot-raisin muffins Bonnie brought us the other day. Delicious!
2. The fun of discovering wonderful new gluten-free products, and of getting to learn a little more about people through the food they bring us. 🙂
3. Feeling so supported and cared for by our community. It is humbling and truly inspiring.

I appreciate:

1. The people who plow our streets. Thank you for making it so much easier to get around!
2. The glimpses of sunlight we had today. What a relief!
3. The beautiful mist over the lake tonight. Stunning.

I appreciate:

1. These TED talks: vulnerability and shame and guilt. Beautiful!
2. That despite the fact that I work from home and am in no way affected by it, I’m super excited for the people who are getting a snow day today. 😛
3. And, once again, the snow. Yes, I know it makes travel more difficult and it will be a bummer to shovel….but it’s still a pretty amazing thing that happens and I like the way it transforms everything.

I appreciate:

1. Monkeying around with my Urbane Gorillas friends. So much fun!
2. Having an extended family whose company I so enjoy. I had such a good time at dinner last night with them. 🙂
3. The snow — and the fact that I don’t have to be out in it yet. 😛

I appreciate:

1. The Sunday paper and coffee in the morning.
2. So much improv to look forward to today!
3. The fact that Pat always calls me his beautiful wife. 🙂

I appreciate:

1. Kay, for leading me to my new play area! 🙂
2. Markers and crayons and colored pencils and ink of all kinds, for making my life so much more fun.
3. My own willingness to never quite grow up…and all the lovely people who play along with me. ♥

I appreciate:

1. Peanut butter. It’s good on toast and with apples and makes excellent cookies. Yum.
2. The forecast for 40º next Thursday. Heatwave!!
3. Coloring things – like eggs, or drawings, or sidewalks. I just like to color. 😛

I appreciate:

1. Getting to sleep in until 8:30 after another wakeful night. Thank you, Pat. ♥
2. Luna’s weird little mewing noises.
3. Gluten-free cupcakes. They’re even better when you’re tired. 🙂

I appreciate:

1. Getting to try cool new stuff with my classmates in HUGE 501. Silent improv is fun!
2. That my sweetie always lets me drive the Prius. 🙂
3. The fun game my daughter and I invented when we were out today. It’s based on a street we passed called Brownie Road. The game is to come up with alliterative bakery item street names. It’s fun!

I appreciate:

1. Big, fearless, joyful improv like Show X last night. Thank you, Rita and Jill, for your stunning animal portrayals. I’ll never look at a squoose the same way again… 😉
2. Learning to be gentle. With all that’s going on lately, my mood is up and down and up and down. It’s teaching me to be okay with what is in this moment.
3. YOU! ♥ You wonderful, bright lights circling around me are endlessly fascinating, beautiful, and deeply appreciated.
