Appreciations Year Three: Day 165

Even a tiny hint of sun considering breaking through the clouds.

Super quiet Sunday morning with no schedule, no agenda, and plenty of coffee.

French toast with cinnamon. Makes even the gluten-free variety taste yummy!

Year 1, Day 114: triple 12, home from driving, nice drive and a donkey, snowdrifts

I appreciate:

That it’s 12/12/12!
That I am back home (with Katie!!) after driving all day. 🙂 I also appreciate that despite getting back to town at rush hour, it only added an extra 20 minutes to the trip total. Phew.
That it was warm and sunny today so the roads were pretty clear. Oh, and it was really nice weather for driving. OH – and I saw a donkey on the way to Morris, which reminded me of Show X on Monday (ask Andrew Zimmern about donkey if you’re curious).
The spectacularly beautiful snowdrifts along Hwy 28.

I appreciate:

The sunshine — and am equally grateful that we’re supposed to get snow tomorrow!
I appreciate my husband and my son helping me get ready for tonight’s Holiday Sale — and am equally grateful that B2B-AHC did such a great job setting it up!
I appreciate the lovely people I’m encountering today!

I appreciate:

I am wildly grateful that the sore throat portion of this cold is nearly past. What a relief!!!
I appreciate David’s excellent movie suggestions. Though I seldom watch movies, his predictions about what I’ll like are 99% accurate. 🙂
I appreciate understanding that everything is temporary — which allows me to survive the challenging moments of my day, and truly savor the beautiful moments. ♥ Middle age rocks! 🙂
It’s amazing how happy I feel that my throat feels more or less normal.
The relief of being nearly well is awesome!
Also, I’m loving the sunshine, the fact that my adorable husband has begun posting appreciations on FB, the purr-purr-purring of Luna, and today’s fabulous series of hot drinks: coffee, more coffee, orange-spice tea. ♥

I appreciate:

All the gratitude posts popping up on FB. I love that so many of my friends are doing 30 days of gratitude! ♥
Sunshine and 50º weather. I love when November doesn’t feel like November.
My funny and talented friends with whom I get to do a show at Comedy Sportz tomorrow!!

I appreciate:

The wonderfully caring staff at Amherst H. Wilder Foundation’s Adult Day Care for their understanding & kindness
The flowers in the vase on my parents dining room table for reflecting the sweetness of my parents’ marriage
Today’s hazy sunshine for giving me a little boost.

I appreciate:

Cinnamon toast and chamomile tea. Thank you for helping me feel better!
Sunshine streaming through the window, warm and friendly. Thank you for making me feel so cozy.
Slippers! Better than socks, better than shoes. Maybe I’ll start wearing them all the time. That wouldn’t seem at all odd. 😛

I appreciate:

My new business, Seriously Happy. Every time I read an article, work on the website or create new materials for it, I get soooooo happy! (the alternate name for the company, haha!) 😛
Beautiful, sunny weather and the best neighborhood for walking around in it.
Twin Cities Wellness Network meeting this morning….so many like-minded people supporting each other. Love it!
