Appreciations 3/26-3/30: Diana and the Beautiful, Wonderful, No Bad, Very Good Day. (Plus a few other things from before that.)

The aforementioned BWNBVG Day
Starting the day with Katie at Carley Coffee!Carley Coffee 3:2017

Small vehicles carrying precious coffee beans.

Completing several tasks that have been on my to-do list for more than a YEAR!

Fun socks.

Walking around Uptown on my first 10,000+ step day in at least 6 months.

Cina’s good news! Plus her silliness. Heck.

Window art 3:2017Window art with Sarah & Ida. I love our ever-evolving, communal art!

Dragons!

Sarah’s way with words. Did you know that croissants are a donut-adjacent food? 😆

Ida’s breathtaking bedtime performance, ending with a mash-up medley of classic songs – Itsy Bitsy Spider, You Are My Sunshine, ABCs, and Old MacDonald. Brilliant!! 💚

Other things
From now on, any day that I am neither prepping for nor undergoing a colonoscopy shall be considered a Very. Good. Day. 😉

Jeff, who got up at WTF o’clock to transport me to the procedure and keep my company while waiting. And my folks for babysitting me after the procedure.

The med student who rubbed my back and patted my shoulder during the procedure (which took longer and was more challenging than usual for a variety of reasons).

Me, for trying to do Laughter Yoga during the procedure. Even sedated I am hilarious. (And Jody for introducing me to the practice in the first place!) Ha ha ha ha ha! ❤️

Looking forward to next week….with NO doctor appointments for the first time in several months. Wonder what I’ll do with all my spare time!

Appreciations 4.125 – Birthday!

holiday cardsWhat a wonderful birthday! I enjoyed a quiet morning working on holiday cards and then had an excellent brunch with Katie and Mckenzie. The food (gluten-free pancakes with pecans!) and coffee were delicious and the rain turned to snow while we enjoyed our meal. Magical. 🙂

Then I got to spend the rest of the day with the kids, running errands and finishing up projects. What a treat!

I’m happy to have added to my art print collection – a new O’Keeffe for my Georgia wall and a new Van Gogh for the kitchen. I can’t even explain how happy these prints make me feel!

Encountering friendly service people and clerks at every turn. I love engaging with people who are open and like to play along with my silliness. So fun to have a day full of bright encounters like that. 😀

Bonus Duncan day! Thank you for the really delicious dinner and the delightful company, Sarah & Ida. Oh, what a wonderful evening! ❤

Year 1, Day 4: coffee genius, rocks, glasses

1. I am so grateful to the genius minds that figured out that roasting coffee beans and pouring hot water over them would yield the most delicious, invigorating brew… Yum.
2. I appreciate the beautiful things in my office: Georgia O’Keeffe calendar, Muppets poster, paintings & photos by various family members, talismans from traveling friends, rocks of all shapes and colors.
3. I appreciate my glasses – without which I couldn’t read anything!
