Appreciations Year Three: Day 210

After finishing work yesterday, I felt like I didn’t have enough energy to go for a walk, but decided to go anyway… and was rewarded with a funny bunny encounter. 🙂

I am looking forward to my meeting with the beautiful and talented Lisa this afternoon!

I am also looking forward to teaching the drop-in class at HUGE today (Sense-ational improv: Incorporating all the senses into your scene). So fun that today’s class is a mash up of improv and songwriting techniques. I love when my little worlds collide like that!

Appreciations Year Three: Day 206

A wonderful morning with the Delaney girls followed by an excellent afternoon of make-em-ups, the duo edition, with Alison and Community Ed and Squash Banana. Yay!

Sunshine and blue skies….AGAIN!

Numbers and letters and songs and red and new ideas.

Appreciations Year Three: Day 202

Small hilarious events, like having three birds fly directly at me as I walked down the sidewalk. Exhilarating!

The most delicious, nourishing, hilarious, wonderful porch visit with Pam. How I love our wonderful talks that range all over the place and leave me feeling inspired and happy and loved and excited to be alive. I am so grateful for our friendship!

Curling up with kittens to settle down for the night.

Gluten-free pancakes with cinnamon and pecans. Plus coffee! Delicious!

Sunny sunny sunny and 60º. Hells, yeah!

Alison’s sweet tolerance of a duo partner who sleeps through her alarm and arrives late for warm-ups… 😛

Spending time with Sarah and Miss Ida. It had been WAY too long!

Weather warm enough for my first walk to the lake… with NO hat….and NO mittens. Even had to take my jacket off on the way home. Woohoo!

Cow socksCrystal treeWarm and fuzzy socks Debb sent me. Is it wrong that my first instinct is to get the sharpies back out and color these, too?? 😉

The beautiful tree pattern my crystal made as the light came through the window.

The amazingly beautiful weather today — AND in the forecast.

Super fun rehearsal with Alison this morning for our debut duo show tomorrow. Hooray!

The utter joy of hanging out with the Delaney girls this afternoon. What an amazing treat. How smart that we already put a date for next week on the calendar! 🙂

color my slipper 3-3-15My awesome $1 slippers which replace my ratty 10-year old slippers and double as a coloring project. So many hours of sharpie coloring fun in my future!  (Don’t worry, I’ll post photos of my progress on the coloring project. I know you’ll want to keep track.) 😛

Pretty snow. Even though I am tired of winter, this morning’s snowfall sure is beautiful.

So many funny and smart and interesting people in my life. What a joy it is to converse with them.

sun-47083_640Sunshine. OMG sunshine.

And warmth! Did you know that there are 40’s in the forecast?! And if you look far enough ahead, 50º. What a wonderful little miracle that will be!

Really good friends who will call and talk me down and tell me exactly what I need to hear exactly when I need to hear it. Thanks, Debb. Cookie earned. 😉

Appreciations Year Three: Day 188

Really satisfying days of work. I love that I get to do and learn so many interesting things and feel like I’m helping people while I do it.

The balmy 30º weather today. Well, balmy except for the freeeeeezing wind whipping around. 😉

Clean car!!!! OMG how thrilling to finally wash the salt off my baby.

Debb & Ivan. ❤

Appreciations Year Three: Day 187

Crazy perfect timing. The furnace repair appointment got pushed back, but the meeting I had that would have kept me from being present ALSO got pushed back — so the furnace repair happened right after I got back from meeting #1 and and was completed just in time for me to make meeting #2. Perfection!

Helpful people like my awesome career counselor (yes, I need help after being out of the “real” job market for more than 2 decades!) and the super helpful furnace tech who came out and fixed the furnace so quickly!

Service Plus, which meant I didn’t have to PAY for that $900 repair. Whew!

My wonderful clients who make my work interesting and fun.

Cheryl and Jenna who wrote a song with me some 3 years ago, which, whenever it shows up on my iTunes playlist fills me with giddiness and glee. ❤
