1) self imposed curfews (because i’m finding that i need them).
2) mathemusicians & mathemagicians.
3) that bubble of protection the Universe has around me.
4) early Spring days that are just a tiny bit too cold to have the windows open, but I do it anyway.
5) all the beautiful & intelligent people that surround me.

I’m grateful for…
1.) my Dear Other Half‘s sore muscles – those pay the bills.
2.) second chances.
3.) locally handcrafted wine.
4.) homemade chai tea – spicy & delicious.
5.) books about things I care about – especially when they are bought for me by people that I care about.
6.) ASK (Arts & Science for Kids) magazine.
7.) fresh spring rolls.
I think I’m going to make Saturdays ‘gratitude blog day’. I figure I can list seven things that I am grateful for – not necessarily one for each day of the week, it’s just that seven is a good number for me. If you feel like joining me, please do and you can link to your post in the comments. Also, if you have some other form of weekly gratitude blog and want to share, leave a link in the comments.

6.) uninterrupted sleep.
7.) making collages with a friend (Art Therapy for-the-win).

1. New experiences and possibilities are what make our lives exciting and worth living.
2. It’s entirely possible that an unexpected turn on a daily walk could lead you down a different street, full of people and places just waiting for you.
3. I’m looking forward to really living, with my full self – so far, even when it sucks, it just feels better.
4. Being able to say how we feel and express what we need feels awesome, but it’s an awesome that I would never have imagined.
5. Try to find something magical in each day – I promise there’s plenty to choose from.
6. My ability to bounce back and just keep on giving is what’s extraordinary about me.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to spending time with a friend & her family while we celebrate her birthday, tomorrow my plans include hanging out with another friend (we’re going to make collages) and Sunday, I want to take advantage of extra snuggling time since I don’t have to get up early to kidsit!
