Appreciations Year Three: Day 215

The recent spate of car license plates I’ve seen that have words on them – it’s been about a dozen in the last 2 days. And I haven’t been out and about that much! I can’t remember all of them, but words included elm, ply, dad, due, pup, key, rev, mud. I find it hilarious that I’ve taught my brain to get so happy about such mundane things. Good work, brain. 😉

The fact that I almost never have insomnia.

My cuddly kitty neck wrap warmer thingy. Perfect for those “huh, I guess I slept in the same weirdly uncomfortable position all last night” mornings. 😛

The north woods, my neighborhood, sidewalk chalk drawings, pretty white (soon to melt) snow, word games, maple syrup, traditions.

What is something surprising that has delighted you recently?

Appreciations Year Three: Day 148

Sunny sunny sunshine and warm weather! Ooooh – could get up to 40º today. Maybe I’ll go for a walk — you know, break out the sandals & shorts. 😉

Pam’s delightfully descriptive appreciations. I love her attention to detail and thoughtfulness as she crafts her daily dose of goodness. ♥

500 kinds of lotion to choose from since though it be warm, it be dry.

Appreciations Year Three: Day 134 (the mind-bogglingly deep and thoughtful first appreciation of 2015…or not…edition)

My vacuum cleaner. So much more efficient at picking up all those pine needles than sweeping. Plus, the floor feels so nice when it’s newly vacuumed.

A warm house in which I can walk around barefoot in January, in Minnesota. Pretty sweet.

Operation pare-down’s progress: 5 bags of books on their way out the door (nevermind the several hundred that are staying… it still counts!) 😉

This year’s fun game of leaving all of last year’s appreciations in the copy of the spreadsheet until I get to that day, so I can read them when I write my new ones. Haha! I’m appreciating the anticipation of enjoying last year’s appreciations. Hah. That makes me giggle.
