Appreciations 4.266 – sun and rainbow drops

sun-and-rainbow-dropsIt was fun to see the sunshine for a few minutes yesterday. Even that little break from the rain made it possible for me to wake up loving the sound of the drip drops on my roof today.

Reacquainting myself with laughter. Oh, right… that thing I love to do! Ha ha ha ha ha!

Good news from my tests this week: normal pulmonary function (which is a great thing if you’re using the meds I’m on!) AND bonus hemoglobin of 12.3. way to go, body!!

Pixabay, whose images I use for all sorts of things – including teaching myself photoshop!

A no-appointment day that allows me some uninterrupted work time! I’m already down from 29 messages in my Action folder to 11. Yay!

Quick healing – already feel like I’m over the worst of the cold that started Monday. Phew!

Listening to Ellis’ new CD, The Guest House and then Ray Charles’ Genius Loves Company while I did a little busy work. Fun!

I am feeling the genius of naming my company Seriously Happy. I end up saying things like, “I got my seriously happy checks in the mail today,” and “I’m going to do some seriously happy work now.” And since I don’t yet have address labels, writing:

Seriously Happy
Diana Korpi

as the first two lines of my return address. 😀
 
This makes me happy. Seriously. 😉

Appreciations 4.36 – Feeling better and having fun

Feeling enough better today to get a little bit of work done today.

colored slippersFeeling enough better today to get some important coloring done today! (Yes, I’ve been walking around with one multi-colored slipper and one black and white slipper for all these months.) 😉

The utterly delightful language in Wodehouse’s work … biffed off (departed), bally, ranygazoo, rummy, crispish — and stinko, woozled, and awash (all meaning drunk). Lalalala. Language is so much fun. ❤

Appreciations Year Three: Day 310

rainbow flagWhat a wonderful day! Terrific morning getting work done (action folder wrangled back down to a manageable 12 items) and a productive and fun meeting with Ellen.

Improv and social time with some HaHa Ladies and a couple special guests from out of town who are here for TCIF. What a treat to get to meet and play with such lovely women! Thanks for setting it up, Elizabeth!

Supreme court ruling that fills me with joy. Such a thrill to read about it, see people’s reactions, and celebrate love. So happy!

Plus sunshine-rain-sunshine. That’s always fun, too. 🙂

Appreciations Year Three: Day 279

Lovely visit with the Delaneys and the gang at the castle yesterday. So much big love in a short little space of time. ❤

The way it sounds when it starts raining really hard. Downpour!

A most amicable, amazing, and amusing lunch with Amy today! 😀

Feeling better — able to work for a few hours today. Hooray!

Stopping work and watching Big Hero 6 with the kids. Yup, that’s the kind of awesome house I live in. 😉

Nice chat with my brother this evening. I’m so excited they are moving back to MN!!

New ideas, goofy friends, feeling optimistic, dishwashers, chickadees, perfect putts that you really don’t have the skill to make, but make anyway.

The heady scent of the lilacs I cut from our bush and put on a vase on my desk.

Getting promoted to “moderately anemic” due to my improving numbers.  Yay!

Learning that getting out of the anemia zone will also help my heart function — so maybe I can get that EF back up over 25%.  Wouldn’t that be amazing!!!!

The fun challenge of putting together an improv workshop with a very specific goal and intended for non-improvisers…and only 50 minutes long. 🙂 What a fun and interesting task!

Secret passages, dead ends that let you know it is time to turn around and look for something different, labyrinth walks, cuckoo clocks, TED talks.

Spring flowering tree 2015Mckenzie’s so-far, so-good recovery!

Gorgeous weather for a walk.

This beautiful flowering tree. So pretty and it smells amazing!

The empty plastic bag I found caught on a twig at the beginning of my walk. So helpful. I keep meaning to bring one on my walks to pick up trash as I go, but I keep forgetting. Thanks, wind. Thanks, tree. 😉

Looking forward to another round of JimmyD classes starting tonight! 😀

Appreciations Year Three: Day 207

Feeling just well enough to do the stuff I really, really wanted to do this weekend, and then having enough down time to rest in between and afterward.

Watching awesome improv and then and having sososoooooo much fun performing with Sarah at the Pi Day Bonanza last night! Unbelievably fun.

The excitement of meeting new improvisers and hearing all their good ideas. I love surrounding myself with interesting, engaged, creative people. Musical improv is going to be super fun!

Warm socks, purring cats, tea, early bedtime.
