Year 1, Day 105: rain, awards at HUGE, Molly

I appreciate:

  1. Today’s rain. Of course it’d be nicer if it was snow — but we’ll take whatever precipitation we can get!
  2. The Improviser of the Year Awards at HUGE last night. What a ridiculously lovely and amazing group of people! ♥
  3. Thanks to Molly from whom I stole the wording “ridiculously lovely and amazing.” A perfect description of the event – and the community. 🙂

Year 1, Day 104: geeky-weirdness, beautiful fog, amazing people

I appreciate:

  1. My own geeky-weirdness and the random pleasures it affords me. Last night I looked up from my book to see what time it was – 12:12. Yup. That made me so happy. Even better when I a) finished reading the chapter I was on at 12:14 and b) got up to get some water, got back into bed, and turned the light off at 12:16. I like to believe I fell asleep at 12:18. 😛
  2. The beautiful fog all over my neighborhood this morning
  3. Knowing so many amazing writers and thinkers.

Year 1, Day 103: google spreadsheet knowledge, movies, fascinating people, the post office

I appreciate:

  • That I just taught myself to auto-fill all the dates in my google spreadsheet. Yeah, you smarties out there already knew how — but now, so do I!
  • That being sick this week allowed/forced me to stay home and watch movies — like The Avengers. Joss Whedon is my hero! ;^)
  • I appreciate the incredible genius, energy, and enthusiasm of my fellow entrepreneurs….and the fact that I just get to know so many fascinating people!
  • I love flat-rate priority mailing boxes! And I so appreciate the generous people in line at the post office. A lady at the back of the (long) line had to move her car (accidentally parked in loading zone) and other folks in line held her packages and her place in line while she moved it. And when one of the registers malfunctioned & the wait increased, people just smiled at each other – and everyone had something nice to say to the beleaguered PO clerk. 🙂

Year 1, Day 99: getting better, more appreciations, sunshine and other sunshiny things

I appreciate:

  • I am wildly grateful that the sore throat portion of this cold is nearly past. What a relief!!!
  • I appreciate David’s excellent movie suggestions. Though I seldom watch movies, his predictions about what I’ll like are 99% accurate. 🙂
  • I appreciate understanding that everything is temporary — which allows me to survive the challenging moments of my day, and truly savor the beautiful moments. ♥ Middle age rocks! 🙂
  • It’s amazing how happy I feel that my throat feels more or less normal.
  • The relief of being nearly well is awesome!
  • Also, I’m loving the sunshine, the fact that my adorable husband has begun posting appreciations on FB, the purr-purr-purring of Luna, and today’s fabulous series of hot drinks: coffee, more coffee, orange-spice tea. ♥

Year 1, Day 98: home working, gratitudes, daughter

I appreciate:

  1. Having a job that allows me to work from home in my jammies!
  2. The exquisite gratitude postings by my friends. It brightens my day so much to hear about the good things in your lives!
  3. That I still miss my daughter every time she goes back to school. I’m so lucky to have kids I adore so much. ♥
