Year 1, Day 16: Seriously Happy, sunshine, TCWN

I appreciate:

  1. My new business, Seriously Happy. Every time I read an article, work on the website or create new materials for it, I get soooooo happy! (the alternate name for the company, haha!) 😛
  2. Beautiful, sunny weather and the best neighborhood for walking around in it.
  3. Twin Cities Wellness Network meeting this morning….so many like-minded people supporting each other. Love it!

Year 1, Day 14: complete painting project, clean-up help, to-do list completion, working with Mckenzie

I am grateful for:

  1. Finishing the painting in time for Mckenzie & me to see Show X at Huge!
  2. Pat’s willingness to clean up all the brushes etc from today’s project.
  3. The awesome sense of satisfaction from completing a project that’s been on my to-do list for 12 years!
  4. Mckenzie’s help with the painting- and his excellent music selections while we worked. 🙂

Year 1, Day 13: morning glories, Lake Harriet, KFNA Farmers’ Market

I appreciate:

1. The beautiful morning glories that have finally bloomed on our fence.
2. Living so close to Lake Harriet — and having the time and energy walk around it!
3. The Kingfield Farmer’s market – both in its bustling current-day state and the memory of sitting out there with coffee guy, soap lady, tea lady, and a handful of farmers, selling my jewelry (me, the jewelry lady) every Sunday during those first few years 🙂

Year 1, Day 12: purple chairs, David, GracieDog

I appreciate:

1. More purple furniture! Garage sale chairs we recovered ourselves. (I actually appreciate the green ones, too. And the memory of us each picking out our own fabric to use. And the fun of doing the project together….)
2. My friend David who makes me laugh and continually teaches me new coding tricks.
3. Our poor old GracieDog who, though she whines a lot now because she’s senile and confused, is a very sweet dog.

Year 1, Day 11: sidewalk chalk, hazelnut cocoa, this cool rock

1. I appreciate sidewalk chalk. I mean, really, what’s not to like?
2. I appreciate Ghiradelli Chocolate Hazelnut cocoa mix, which has no dairy and can be added to my favorite breakfast beverage for a spectacular (and inexpensive) mocha at home! Did I mention yum??
3. I appreciate this cool rock. The edge of the colored part reminds me of a butterfly. Oh — which I appreciated yesterday! Hahaha. 🙂

Year 1, Day 10: my mug, couch, butterflies

I appreciate:

1. My Rocky Mountain National Park mug which not only holds my most favorite breakfast beverage, but also reminds me of our wonderful family trip last summer.
2. My purple couch which is not only comfy, but is purple. Purple!
3. Butterflies. They are just fun to watch. I like ’em. 🙂

Year 1, Day 9: Sara, perfect timing, office space

1. I am soooo grateful for Sara who is not only the very best assistant/colleague a girl could ask for, but is also brilliant, funny and adorable. I am thrilled to count her among my dear friends!
2. I appreciate the beautiful way things work out. With no prior discussion, I showed up at work with 2 coffees, and Sara showed up with a delicious gluten-free muffin and locally-grown raspberries to share. Perfection!
3. I appreciate my new office space downtown. The ideal location and set-up for me and my businesses. 🙂

Year 1, Day 8: massage, uke, support network

1. I am grateful for the massage I got this morning! Thanks, Jen!
2. I appreciate my awesome tenor uke – even though I still can’t really play it. 😛
3. I am so grateful for my vast support network…whether I’m trying to solve a parenting issue, understand css, write more songs, achieve better health…I have so many people I can turn to. Lucky me! 🙂
