Another wonderful card Dennis! Thanks for the day-brightener, cousin! ❤
Unexpected giggles. After talking about our favorite (now out of print) books from childhood, David sent me a copy of one of his favorites. So funny! I learned a lot about the friendship between koalas and kangaroos, the dangers of grasshoppers, and the excitement presented when a pink airplane full of circus equipment falls from the sky. Hahahaha! 😀
A pile of freshly laundered, folded (all the same way) towels. 😛
The best mother a girl could want. Love you, mom!
Super fun dinner with the family at Jeff & Laura’s house!
Wonderful day of random errands and hanging out with the kids. I’m a lucky mama!
One of the things I love about my walks through the neighborhood is the fantastic variety of houses nestled together on every block.We have everything from 1950’s ramblers to 1920’s bungalows, stucco and brick houses, homes with brand new siding, fancy doors and funky rainbow colored doors, porches, patios, and front stoops, fences and trellises and stone retaining walls. The profusion of styles and colors and personalities never fails to delight me. ❤
More walking! After getting out of the hospital, I lowered my steps goal to 3,000/day – and some days I didn’t even reach that goal. This week, since my amazing session with Lynn, I’ve had increased energy and now my step goal is 6,000/day — which I’ve met every day since then (including one 12,000+ and one 9,000+ day!). It’s nice to feel like I can do things again. 😀
Alphabetized appreciations, balloons, cousins, daffodils, energy, friends and family, giggles, honey, imagination, jaguars, kaleidoscopes, learning, mustard, North Shore, opals, perfume, quality time, ripples, stars, trompe l’oeil, umbrellas, velvet, waterfalls, xylophones, yarns, zippers.
Ahaha! Comical cousins’ coordinated communications…I received cards in the mail today from both Debb and Dennis. What fun! Thanks for the giggles, youse. 😀
Another fun visit with today’s appointment driver, Jeff. My not-driving is a great excuse to spend time with fun people!
Gorgeous weather and the ability to go be in it!
Being able to fall asleep the past two nights without Benadryl — and having no nightmares! Yay! I feel like some of the PTSD stuff is really starting to shift now. What a wonderful relief. 🙂
Super successful and fun errands outing with Cina! We both had COFFEE first! Then we did 7 stops in just over 3 hours – including finally dropping off my CF bulbs and batteries at the recycling center (which I’ve been “meaning to do” for 3 years) AND having time for lunch. The lessening of the anxiety is allowing me SO much more energy. Plus, Cina is just awesome. ❤ ❤ ❤
My very important $1 Star Wars Day impulse buy. May the fourth be with you… 😀
253. Magically reappearing things…. like my Fitbit, which fell out of its little sleeve thing some time between 7:30 am -10:30 am in one of the 3 rooms I’d been in, and which then disappeared for the day. (Srsly – we shook out bedding, checked behind and under everything, looked everywhere.) It magically reappeared ON TOP of the quilt on top of me after a nap… a quilt which had been shaken out and moved several times. Pretty nifty. 😉
Pushing through lethargy to get something I wanted done done.
Peppermint oil for helping with sinus issues since I can’t take Sudafed for it while I’m on this new med. Not quite as effective, but better than nothing!
254. Sunshine! Oh, how I love sunshine. Especially after so many days of gray. Hello, beautiful!
Really lovely walk with Sarah and Ida. So great to spend time with these darlings and in such nice weather. We walked up to the Rose Gardens and it was so amazing to be outside and to go for a long walk. Made me feel practically human again. 😉
So many nice puppies and puppy owners on our walk! Two beautiful German Shepherd-Malamute sweeties and a humongous and friendly Golden Doodle. I love being able to play a little with dogs…who are not my responsibility! 😀
250. Nice visit with Ellis while we drove out to my appointment. I may not love the necessity of getting rides everywhere, but I sure do love the opportunity it gives me to spend time with my wonderful friends! Thank you, Ellis! 
Listening to all the frogs and birds singing in the marsh behind my therapist’s office. What a symphony!
Nice little visit with my brother Jeff. How nice that he lives in the cities now. It’s so fun to spend time with him and get to know him better!
251. Wonderful lunch and visit with Laura – with bonus errands accomplished. How lucky I am to have friends who will drive me places and who are such fun to be with. 🙂
Cardigan sweaters.
Hot tea on a rainy day. 😉
252. Sunshine. What a beautiful sight!!
Also, the hilarity that I first wrote that as “site” — occupational hazard, I guess. Hahaha!
Wonderful visit with today’s errands driver, Alison. So wonderful to catch up with her and talk about life, the universe, and everything. 🙂
Teensy tiny walk around the block. Long enough to hear a gajillion different bird songs, to feel the warm sun, and to see the gorgeous flowers and trees coming to life in my neighborhood.
Made up words like gajillion.
Learning that sometimes the path of least resistance is the best path… like posting 3 days of appreciations all at once instead of formatting them separately. 😉
22 years with the best son a mama could want. What a funny, fascinating, fabulous journey it’s been! 6 years with the best Ruby an Aunt Dinana could want … even if she does call me Diana now! 😉 So many good birthdays in April! ❤
A chance to catch up with Alison today. It’s so nice to connect with friends! 🙂
The Good News Network, for continually reminding me that there are so many good things in the world. Like this video!
First baby bunny sighting this morning. They’re so adorable that I don’t mind sharing my garden with them! 😀
Nice little visit with my folks this morning when they dropped of the gf df cookies my mom made for me… both of my favorite kinds. Thanks, mama! ❤
Meeting some lovely people at Ruby’s bday party gathering today… where we learned that we are all winners. 🙂
Really nice walk with the kids this evening…not quite enough energy to get all the way up to the lake yet, but I got up to 8,000 steps for the day. Slowly, but surely working my way back up. Plus I walked down a new street and saw some gorgeous gardens. 😉
Gorgeous, gorgeous weather. Super long, but super productive and enjoyable day!
Wonderful meeting with JohnnyLinn, yummy and constructive work meeting with Sara at the Third Bird, and fun errands with Laura!
Super sweet night with the kids to celebrate Mckenzie’s birthday! Pizza, cake, presents, and then SO MUCH FUN painting together while listening to the soothing voice and excellent instructions of Bob Ross. 😉 Perfect. ❤ ❤ ❤
