The way the air smells outside after a rain.

Walking.

Amazing gardens near me. I love that so many neighbors’ front yards are all or mostly garden! 42nd garden.JPG

Breathing.

Finding pools of calm and joy even during darker days.

Beautiful friends reaching out to see how I’m doing.

Appreciations Year Three: Day 274

irises may 2015Walking around our neighborhood with my kids. Great talk, gorgeous gardens, beautiful weather. Perfect!

Improving energy — enough to work, go for a walk, spend some time looking for a job, go to class, and socialize after class! Almost like the good ol’ pre-health-craziness days. 🙂

Feeling hopeful and optimistic. What a comfort it is to live in that space!

Alison for her ability to make me laugh, smile, giggle, ponder, wonder, aspire, hope, blush, consider, stretch and grow. I love her quick and wry sense of humor, her goofiness, her big, generous open heart, her beautiful smile, infectious laugh, and excellent hugs, her directness, candor, and sweetness. Among other things. 😉 How lucky I am to be surrounded by wonderful people like her in my life! ❤

Dandelions, lions, Lyons, Colorado, donuts, dodos, cheetahs.

The beautiful gardens in my neighborhood.  What fun to walk by and see the changes each day!

Soft, warm weather that instantly improves my mood when I walk out into it.

Publicity work that does its job and results in a very nice article!

MarioProv with some of my favorite human beings.

Alison & Andy for creating the parking lot bit.

Andy for heightening and truly committing to the parking lot bit. OMG that was hilarious.  Genius!

Rain boots and puddles, rainbows and riddles, Grey Goose and fiddles, tea.
