1. A great silent meditation, clearing my head this morning
2. A monarch butterfly outside my window
3. The warm sun
4. Two doves cooing together
5. New friendships

1. This Life
2. A healthy mind & body
3. The love of family & friends
4. Beautiful, safe surroundings
5. A world full of opportunities

1. OUR HOUSE SOLD TODAY!!!
2. Three strong offers we got to choose from on the same day
3. All the hard work my husband has done
4. Our wonderful realtor (who is blown away too) :)
5. Our upcoming vacation

1. For our faith & believing in what we want for our future
2. Our friends who are so much fun to be around
3. Game night (we won 2 nights in a row) :)
4. Our very kind neighbor who offered to dog sit while we are away
5. The THREE offers that came in on the house today!!!

1. Clam digging with DH & the dog
2. A nice dinner out
3. Watching a movie in the theater (we’ve been on rentals for a long time)
4. Good friends & gatherings
5. Nice weather that makes you feel good

1. Life – it is so fragile & can be gone in an instant (hold those you love very close)
2. My dad – I love our talks on the phone
3. Re-connecting with a great friend from college & talking for hours with tears and laughter
4. The FlyLady routines – my shiny sink & tennis shoes are getting so much use these days :)
5. Scary movies – I have been on a roll lately & it’s kept me entertained while DH was away (except for those bumps in the night…)

1. Getting the house sanitized & kicking this never-ending cold to the curb
2. FlyLady – I have really gotten some much needed inspiration from this website & feel so much more pulled together. Now if I can only get that inspiration for my diet!
3. Feeling good enough to get some real work done – almost done with tax stuff for the biz
4. Continuing to plan for our great escape & getting ourselves excited about the move
5. Getting back to 43Things & FINALLY returning some cheers – sorry guys!

1. My doctor who assured me that this virus will pass (although it really makes me mad that they don’t give antibiotics anymore & it will have to “run its course”)

2. My warm bed & sustanance: laptop, book, magazines, notebooks, TV remote, ipod, phone, dog… what more can you want?

3. Hubby made me chicken soup today & even remembered to get some 7-up (I am a real baby when I’m sick, but just those little things REALLY make me happy)

4. The 10 mile hike we did last week – at least I got a good day in

5. A little bit of energy to pick up the house & check my eMail

6. My new juicer – it has really helped a lot!

1. Having a stellar week at work
2. My sleeping husband (he doesn’t sleep much lately)
3. Our new decision & working on the planning process
4. This wonderful red wine bought in Napa Valley
5. Very very sweet comments & testimonials from my customers about my closing

• Good friends, game night & almond champagne

• Celebrating a New York New Year on the West Coast so that we could get back home early

• Counting down to the new year with my long-distance family on the phone

• Cuddling up with my comfy new blanket, a strong cup of coffee (ya – need a strong one today!), the dog & the New Year’s Parade this morning :)

• TiVo so that I can watch the parade at noon!

• Making resolutions for a better new me & a 2009 life makeover

• New hope for the coming new year – HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
