Imprompu dinner with Katie and Cina! I love how flexible and easy our plans always feel. I love the fun we always have. 😀
Candlelight and holiday lights. I’d forgotten how soothing it is to sit in a room filled with candlelight.
Winter solstice. It’s the one time of year that I take some time to sit in the darkness and the quiet and just be. How peaceful and lovely.
Happy solstice to you all. The light is returning! 
The interesting back and forth of thoughts and ideas about what is possible. Some days everything feels possible and some days just getting out of bed seems impossible. Hahaha! Aren’t our thoughts wacky, weird, wonderful things?!
The sweet joy of the Earthtones holiday party. I just love these women! And oh, white elephant, what a hilarious and fun game! I love watching someone’s face light up over an item someone else was ready to let go (or never wanted in the first place). And so fun to see which are the hot ticket items… like the Irish Writer coaster set! 😀
Driving home along the creek and looking at all the lights. So pretty!
Woke up this morning having not slept very well, and found that as Pam says, “my cheery was weary” — meaning I was feeling a little more cranky/anxious/depressed than usual. So I did my day, noticing this, but not being overly concerned. So what do I appreciate about that? It gave me the chance to super appreciate my brain! I knew it would find some good stuff at some point.
Mckenzie and I went out to pick up just a couple things at Kowalski’s and while we were there, I found my favorite, most delicious seasonal gluten-free cookies! I hadn’t been able to find them at the co-op where I got them last year, nor online, and had been feeling sad. 😦 But there they were!
And yes, my little brain went to work and got all happy about it. And then it kept on working and decided that really the whole rest of the day leading up to that moment had been pretty good, and it pointed out to me that life really is, in most ways, pretty spectacular. Thanks, brain! 😀
I am further buoyed by the thrill of having lights up on the fence and around the windows. Pretty pretty pretty lights!
Topping off this very good day was a wonderfully fun rehearsal with women I love. Singing with them fills me up in so many ways!
Hahaha – the fun continues. Thank you, Pam, for your good ideas about wordplay!!….Now I’m thinking of other fun ways to describe my mood this morning…
My sunny felt funny?
My delight took flight?
My jolly’s AWOL-ly?
My sparkle went darkle?
My perky is murky?
My bright’s very slight?
My bubble’s in trouble?
My view’s in a stew?
My elation’s on vacation?
My glee is wee?
My grinning is thinning?
My mood’s got a ‘tude?
Other ideas? I’d love to hear them!!
