Appreciations 4.287 – magnificent human beings

Oh my wonderful, darling clients. I am continually amazed at my good fortune to get to work with such magnificent human beings. 😀

Debb's giftDennis’s sweet, funny card, and Debb’s sweet surprise gift that came in the mail today! Remember those magnificent human beings I told you about?! It’s not just my clients. ❤

Great gullywashing rain. What fun to sit on my couch and watch it come down!

Appreciations 4.141 – bedraggled beginnings

Waking up feeling bedraggled after a crazy no-sleep night, only to remember that my first thing to do was to have an inspiring, productive, and fun meeting with the charming Johnny Linn! 😀 What an excellent way to start the day!

Knocking off some pesky little taskies that usually hang around for ages before I get to them. Feels great to get right to ’em!

9 pm bedtime. Yup. It’s a wild life I live. 😉

Appreciations 4.56

Ohhh – more number fun! 4.56! 😛

Another fabulous meeting with John. What a delightful start to my day! ❤

Having so much fun with Pamela while she received her Elixir of Radiant Health at The Spa. Oh how we laughed and joked with the wonderful staff there. And we had such nice walkies – the three of us abreast – me, Pam, and Pam’s PatientPal (yes, that’s what the wheely-pole thingy that holds the bags of elixir is called!!) with Pam’s beautifully choreographed spins when we turned around at the end of the hall. What else? More enlightening, illuminating, inspiring conversation; watching the leaves dance upwards off the trees; and yes, of course, even singing. 😉 It was fun to meet more members of the Pam Fan Club, like Amy and Nancy and all the other folks there who remembered Pam and were clearly so enchanted by my darling friend. We all love Pam’s energy, intentionality, charm, and wit. ❤ Oooooh, and the valet parking! That is pretty nifty, I tell ya. A girl could get used to that kind of thing! What a precious afternoon. 🙂

parsley potatoesHaving just enough energy left over to cook when I got home – I made parsley potatoes with fresh parsley! For a gal who has barely cooked at all in the past 7 or 8 years, this is a big deal. Looks like this old dog CAN learn new tricks. 😀

Year 1, Day 94: friends, family, coworkers

I appreciate the wonderful people in my life. I feel utterly grateful to be surrounded by so much grace, wisdom, gentleness and wit. I appreciate all of you so very much. Thank you for making my life the beautiful thing it is.

I appreciate:

  • My family. I’m lucky to be able to count my family members, including my husband and kids, parents, siblings, and cousins, as friends. What a generous, lively, interesting, funny group of people!
  • My chosen family, including dear friends here in town, fellow improvisers, friends from Song School, old friends from childhood.
  • Friends whom I’ve never met in person, but have come to love just as dearly, including my word-geek friends from Bitwordy. 🙂
  • Clients and colleagues who share similar values and who are such a joy to work with.

When I consider how many truly lovely people I encounter on a regular basis, it takes my breath away.
