Unexpected meetings with friends
The gift of coffee
Time alone for a few minutes
We always have exactly what we need
Health
Wealth
Love
Family
Incredible friends
A truly blessed life

1. A completely flattering request

10. A compliment from my husband

Roses in a little vase upstairs
Small fixes
Beauty in the midst of transition
Beauty anytime
Baby asleep on my chest
The accident right behind us didn’t hit us
Identifying an upper limit symptom and moving forward
Martha Beck’s Joy Diet book
Writing down desires and getting to the root of them
Commitment to me

Trusting that “no news is good news”
Creative lettering
An adorable card from sil
Not finishing when I really didn’t want to
Fresh water
Posture
A wonderful friend on the journey
Feeling good
The joy of gratitude
Having an experience I’ve never had before

Looking at a few places, getting our feet wet
An epic nap when we all needed one
Seeing somewhat more clearly- understanding what it is exactly
Not going where I felt strongly I shouldn’t
A mom friend
Visualizing
Sticking to what’s important
Encouragement
Bought myself roses
Breathing

Choosing gratitude instead
Understanding another’s frustration, even if I can’t fix it
Doing what I can
Watering my secret garden
Open doors, open hearts
Beauty shared
When a meal becomes great with just an ingredient or two

Friends
Doing something that I’ve always wanted to do
The joy of eating
The joy of cooking
When my plans get derailed
Things working out
Slowly, exquisitely eating chocolate
My daughter asking why my eyes were closed “because it’s delicious”
Watching the snow fall and the fire crackle
Holding a baby

Quiet after a long day
Elegance
New benchmarks
Really good chocolate
Getting clear about what I want (chocolate is on the list, of course)
Asking
Figuring it out
Improvising, and loving the result even better
Kale in garlic & butter
Pinterest, and all things searchable

We accepted an offer on our house today!
I am so grateful for so many things, but most of all my husband, who worked tirelessly to get it ready to sell.
Grateful for this adventure!
