Amethyst on my desk.

Organizing all the tasks for all the things. Whew.

Fun evening running errands at Menards and Trader Joe’s and then Menards again 😉 with the kids. 😀

Appreciations 4.64

Waking up grumpy and thinking, “Huh. That’s weird. I wonder why I’m grumpy. Oh, well. I’m sure I won’t be after a while.” Nice to know that moods are just moods and that there’s no real need to “fix” anything when new moods show up. 😉

Ooooooh what a downpour this morning. And now my lawn is covered in glistening, bright yellow elm leaves from my neighbor’s tree. How pretty!

Year 1, Day 80: small kindnesses, rocks, phone

I appreciate:

  1. The fact that small gestures of kindness can have such a profound effect. Having been the recipient of many such acts recently, it was especially lovely to see my MIL smiling when we took her out to dinner last night.
  2. Amethyst! It reminds me of our family adventures at the amethyst mine in Canada. We know how to make it rain! ;^) Plus, rocks are just cool.
  3. My phone, for allowing me to take pix of whatever random thing (or lovely person) I’m appreciating in the moment. 🙂

Year 1, Day 74: great entertainment galore, muppets, malachite

I appreciate:

  1. Looking forward to amazing shows like Bump in the Night and Ghost Force tonight and Justin K Roth and Danielle Ate the Sandwich at the Aster Cafe tomorrow night.
  2. The Muppets poster in my office, though Gonzo will never look quite the same to me, thanks to last night’s Comedy Sportz Improv Class 3 rehearsal and Karen Baker. Neither will clowns, for that matter…
  3. The malachite pyramid on my desk. Malachite is cool!

Year 1, Day 21: Huge Theater, Uniquely Attainable, rose quartz

I appreciate:

  1. Huge Improv’s awesome Splendid Things on Saturday, what will surely be an amazing Show X tonight and 401 class starting Tuesday. Can’t wait!
  2. Uniquely Attainable which happened to be parked in my neighborhood yesterday. Scored a great find for Katie’s birthday in just a couple minutes. Coolest shopping ever!
  3. Rose quartz in all forms, but especially the chunks lying around my house – including the candle holder. What a nice energy that stone has! 🙂

Year 1, Day 11: sidewalk chalk, hazelnut cocoa, this cool rock

1. I appreciate sidewalk chalk. I mean, really, what’s not to like?
2. I appreciate Ghiradelli Chocolate Hazelnut cocoa mix, which has no dairy and can be added to my favorite breakfast beverage for a spectacular (and inexpensive) mocha at home! Did I mention yum??
3. I appreciate this cool rock. The edge of the colored part reminds me of a butterfly. Oh — which I appreciated yesterday! Hahaha. 🙂
