Appreciations Year Three: Day 195

color my slipper 3-3-15My awesome $1 slippers which replace my ratty 10-year old slippers and double as a coloring project. So many hours of sharpie coloring fun in my future!Β  (Don’t worry, I’ll post photos of my progress on the coloring project. I know you’ll want to keep track.) πŸ˜›

Pretty snow. Even though I am tired of winter, this morning’s snowfall sure is beautiful.

So many funny and smart and interesting people in my life. What a joy it is to converse with them.

sun-47083_640Sunshine. OMG sunshine.

And warmth! Did you know that there are 40’s in the forecast?! And if you look far enough ahead, 50ΒΊ. What a wonderful little miracle that will be!

Really good friends who will call and talk me down and tell me exactly what I need to hear exactly when I need to hear it. Thanks, Debb. Cookie earned. πŸ˜‰

rainbow spreadsheetFun with spreadsheets and custom colors. πŸ˜‰

Epic FB sticker duels.

Noticing new patterns. Today I realized that every single piece of art on the walls of my office has either green or blue or both.

Green and blue.

Appreciations Year Three: Day 188

Really satisfying days of work. I love that I get to do and learn so many interesting things and feel like I’m helping people while I do it.

The balmy 30ΒΊ weather today. Well, balmy except for the freeeeeezing wind whipping around. πŸ˜‰

Clean car!!!! OMG how thrilling to finally wash the salt off my baby.

Debb & Ivan. ❀

Appreciations Year Three: Day 187

Crazy perfect timing. The furnace repair appointment got pushed back, but the meeting I had that would have kept me from being present ALSO got pushed back — so the furnace repair happened right after I got back from meeting #1 and and was completed just in time for me to make meeting #2. Perfection!

Helpful people like my awesome career counselor (yes, I need help after being out of the “real” job market for more than 2 decades!) and the super helpful furnace tech who came out and fixed the furnace so quickly!

Service Plus, which meant I didn’t have to PAY for that $900 repair. Whew!

My wonderful clients who make my work interesting and fun.

Cheryl and Jenna who wrote a song with me some 3 years ago, which, whenever it shows up on my iTunes playlist fills me with giddiness and glee. ❀

Appreciations Year Three: Day 186

Morning coffee with Debb, just like the old days. Okay, well, not exactly like the old days. Better furniture. πŸ˜‰

Getting ALL my mom’s Tupperware and other kitchen stuff organized and put away at the new house. Even better having Debb’s help and company during the process. πŸ™‚

Watching Mona Lisa Smile with David — and without having to venture out in stupidcold weather. Thanks IM and netflix. πŸ˜‰
