1.  38 days until Spring!

2.  so happy that my cataract surgery went so well — there’s a whole new world out there of color, dimension, and clarity

3.  my next cataract surgery is in March, and it will be such a relief not to be terrified — lol

4.  found a chalkboard with flowers to put on my door, so the mail carrier can count down to Spring with me!

5.  my husband Tom surprised me with wanting to go to see John McCutcheon (folk singer extraordinaire) with me tomorrow night

6.  so very grateful for my Sonos speakers which bring Pandora, iTunes, and even the radio to me with fulsome vibrancy

7.  my beloved Dad passed away one year ago this Friday.  I am having a week of remembrance, fun, activities, and chocolate.  Hooray!

8.  dinner tonight with my daughter, Maribeth, and one of Dad’s friends from Goodyear — delightful!

9.  reading other gratitude lists — they make me happy and touch my heart

10.  so blessed to be alive and all the wonderful people, adventures, and things that includes!
