• Getting a proper amount of rest
• My oldest son has a new and better job
• Walking at the park

• Time spent at the library
• Sweet red cherries
• The many uplifting conversations I’ve been having with my best friend
• Time spent reading
• Advice from the computer tech in my family
• My cousin’s response after I asked if I could write her biography! I’m excited, she was humble… a 20something year old surgeon in the family!
• Life
• Possibilities
• Our power of choice ;)

1. Making coffee and then sipping it in bed.
2. Lots of nice online interaction during the day.
3. Doing yoga for the fifth day in a row.
4. The sun coming out and going for a bike ride.
5. Sipping a Dark and Stormy (black rum and ginger beer) at the end of the day.

· Napping and a quiet night in.
· Talking to J for three hours last night, and getting to see him on Skype. We usually have to cap our conversations at 10 minutes, so a long conversation was a pleasant luxury.
· In a sort of off-the-cuff way, he admitted that he’s all into the marriage idea. I don’t know if that means with me, but I think it does. (SQUEE!!)
· Being about three clicks away from buying a new iPhone
· Ordering Chinese food: Kung Pao Chicken and Shrimp Fried Rice, brought right to your door!

1. Big bountiful baskets of cherries

2. Red stained fingers from eating said cherries

3. Spitting stones from said cherries with near perfect accuracy into a coffee mug

4. The ping sound made when each cherry stone hits the mug

5. Knowing that none of this would have been possible without the sacrifice of others

1. Seeing my old friend.
2. Staying on my healthy eating program.
