• The sense of satisfaction after cleaning something extremely dirty.
• My funny, generous, wonderful kids.
• The extremely friendly (and for some reason interested in our lives) check out people at whole foods. What a fun exchange!

• More beautiful flowers. Did I mention how much I love my neighborhood?
• Walking. The best form of daily meditation for me. The movement keeps my mind from jumping to the next thing.
• This video. Everything to love – harmony, rhythm, people doing something they love and having fun. ♥

• Getting to work with such engaged, smart, open people. I keep meeting new wonderful people!
• The incredible support network in my life. No matter what’s going on for me, the people around me are incredibly kind.
• New challenges. I feel unsettled and unsteady, but I like the sense of my life being in motion.

I appreciate:

• Kitten intensity…funny little tumbler when he’s playing, ferocious purrer when he’s going to sleep.
• That LunaCat is beginning to accept Toby. Maybe they’ll be friends someday?
• Caffeine in all it’s forms. So helpful.

• Learning Tai Chi with gentle, lovely people.
• Getting to see 4-day old kittens! Oh, my, how wonderful!
• Spending time with Sarah, who introduced me to both the Tai Chi class AND the kittens. What a wonderful start to the day!

I appreciate:

• Feeling happy about little things of no consequence. And feeling happy about them over and over again during the day!
• Having really, really funny friends, the likes of whom can make my early-morning encounter with a centipede (ugh!!) the source of great happiness.
• Meeting with Sara. Really, really so good in so many ways.

• Asparagus. Um yum-diddly-um-dum yum!
• Waking up overwhelmed and depressed, accepting that that’s just how it is some days and knowing that it’s not permanent.
• Finding ways to both be in the moment of sadness and then to find ways to move into productivity.
• Toby with trimmed toenails. Soooo much less painful!

I appreciate:

• Catching up with friends this week. What a lucky girl I am to have such funny, bright, amazing friends.
• That Luna and Toby are beginning to learn to coexist. Luna is being very tolerant!
• This happy car! Katie sent me the pix awhile ago and I forgot about them. Fun!

• Sunshine and breeze. The perfect combination for a long walk!
• Friendships that span decades. There is something so rich and beautiful about these special friendships.
• Getting to spend time with Suzie yesterday. What a fun evening!!

• Baby steps…like my baby-step meditation practice: 10 breaths today.
• Purring. What a wonderful thing to make a rumbly sound whenever you’re content! Thanks, Luna.
• Silliness with the kids yesterday: “Toby or not Toby, cat is the question.”
