Appreciations 4.41

Gorgeous weather. Those blue skies! That sunshine! I love it.

Driving home around the lakes with the windows open. The water was soooo blue and the breeze was just right.

Seeing a big group of people on Segways at the lake. There was something inexplicably delightful about the sight of all those people on Segways, all smiling, laughing, taking photos and videos. They looked like they were having so much fun! 🙂

Katie’s birth day, all those many years ago. What an amazing adventure began that day! ❤ ❤ ❤ Happy birthday to my fascinating, funny, bright, beautiful, snarky, sweet kid! 😀

(And as a gift to you, Katie, I took out “smart” from that sentence since I knew it would bug you to have two alliterative couplets and one triplet. You are welcome. 😉 )

Year 1, Day 39: fall skies, smells, leaves, colors

Today I appreciate fall.  Wanna know why?

  1. Warm, clear, blue-sky days that turn into cool , snuggle-under-the-covers nights.
  2. The smell smoke from people’s backyard fires.
  3. The crisp-crunchiness of fallen leaves when I walk on them.  Reminds me of the huge piles of leaves we jumped in as kids.
  4. The amazing array of colors…mums and asters blooming bright against the yellow/brown stalks of dying summer plants, leaves ranging from still green to yellow-orange-red to brown.  What a brilliant sight. 🙂

Year 1, Day 36: smooth roads, blue sky, Mary

I appreciate:

  1. The new smoothness of Park Avenue — and the people who do that work! I love driving on well-paved roads, but would NOT want to do the work. Thank you road workers!
  2. The sharp blueness of the sky this morning. I know we could use some rain, but the sky against the turning leaves is breathtaking and I’m loving it.
  3. My friend and fellow Certified Laughter Yoga Leader, Mary, who got the wheels turning for us to teach laughter yoga for the MS Society. Can’t wait to start!
