I appreciate:

• These beautiful flowers, now my phone’s home screen.
• This ridiculous kitty.
• The lovely, cheerful posts from this morning. Y’all are just wonderful!
• Getting to spend time with the brilliant, beautiful, bubbly Burcin this evening!

My new pre-appreciation practice when I wake up – appreciating easy-to-overlook things like the fact that my heart beat and my breathing continued all night without me having to think about it, that I can hear the cats mewing for breakfast, that the sun rose again (also with no help from me…). 😛

Lovely gray Sunday morning full of potential fun. Robby and Shelley’s fabulous wedding! (Yes, there were bells available for those of us who wanted to be there with bells on.) I also love that I got to spend time with some of my favorite people, including Debb, Ivan, Cara, Ryan, Carol.

Unabashed, awkward dancing. Nothing like a little Love Shack to get us back out on the dance floor. (No, Ivan, I really do NOT want to see the photos you took…. Some things are better left as memories!)

That Hugs, Inc. is playing again tonight! Our final performance for this run. Come get your fill of love and hugs and improv — all in one place, for the low low price of Pay What You Can! 💗

I appreciate:

• Living in Minneapolis. I’m so close to everywhere I want to go!
• Having my credit union just a few minutes away from my house. Fast banking.
• Eye contact. I love to make eye contact with a cashiers and genuinely wish them a good day. They seem to like it, too.
• Tai Chi. I am so loving learning how to do it. Even in my awkwardness, I find so many moments of serenity and flow.

I appreciate:

• Lovely messages left by friends that make me smile and smile.
• Leaving lovely messages for friends. We all love to hear that we are spectacular, right?
• Phones and all the other fancy technology that makes the calling and the message-leaving and the message-receiving possible.

I appreciate:

• The fabulously helpful health professionals in my life. Seriously, so good.
• My Amy-zing meeting with Amy yesterday. I love it when things are so easy and fun.
• My brilliant friends like Erin and Molly, who find and share things like this video. Made my day!

I appreciate:

• Rainbow reflections.
• My Sara(h)mazing day yesterday — getting to spend time with 2 of my favorite people, Sara and Sarah!
• Plaid leaves.

I appreciate:

• The chance to talk with my brother, Jeff, yesterday. I’m so lucky to have such smart, funny, interesting brothers!
• Katie’s gorgeous photos — and our morning glories, which continue to beautify our days.
• My amazing clients. Not only are they some of the most fun people to work with — they keep sending new, awesome clients my way.

I appreciate:

• Seeing things in a new way. I never noticed all the variation in colors in the center of the sunflower before.
• MORE-ning glories! More blooms every day!
• How lucky I am that even when life is full of challenges, I wake up most mornings with a sense of excitement about what the day will bring.

I appreciate:

Being a creative problem solver. Problem? Kitty locked in office (no key). Creative solution? After exhausting all other methods (try every key in house, credit card between door and frame, lock picking, screwdriver wedged into lock, drilling out lock) and failing to open door, beat the crap out of the door knob until the sucker comes off.

The new, non-locking door knob Mckenzie and I installed.

Morning glories blooming. Hurray!
