Appreciations 4.160 – BELIEVE

I love reading through last year’s appreciations. It’s so fun to remember last year’s fun — and to NOT remember it, sometimes! Last year, I appreciated Rufus. NO idea what that means! Hahaha! 😀

Longer days, warmer days, snowy days. How sweet to be able to taste the edges of spring while walking through a downy fluff of new snow.

Believe. I like the intentionality of it, the hint of hope and possibility. It reminds me of the quote (which is often attributed to Henry Ford, but versions of which date back to Virgil), “Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right.” So much of how we experience each day, each moment, is colored by our beliefs. I like that I can choose what I believe.

I also super like reading the history of quotes! quoteinvestigator.com

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

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 220

Sunshine that sticks around all day. How sunny my mood is on days like this! happy-happy-frog

Working on projects I enjoy. Did I mention how much I like my job?! 😉

Hang out time with Sarah and Ida. Oooooh all the smiles and giggles and squeals and happy sounds… some from me, some from Ida. 🙂

Things getting better and easier the more I expect them to be better and easier.

Slip-on shoes, kangaroos, happy news, thoughts I choose, a restful snooze, good tattoos, Choses qui m’amuse. Accidental-then-on-purpose rhyming… in 2 languages.
