Thankfuls

"Thankfuls" is the term we've started using with Simon for our end of the day listing of things we are thankful for from that day.

So I'm listing mine today, just because I can.

-It's wonderful line drying weather. We rigged up a make shift line on our back patio for me to dry some of our laundry on. We had weather in the 80's (26C?) & the wind wasn't blasting today either, so it was just a good day to hang laundry. It's one of the few times I'm so exuberant about laundry ;)

-I got some delightful snail mail, which always makes my day!

-Mint green nail polish. It worked well in winter. But it's got a whole new personality with spring moving in!

-St. Patty's day is coming up. My true Irish friends, don't hate me. It's the holiday that gets me all giddy, and I have no logical explanation for it. L got me flowers for it one year, and since then, it's been like a delinquent Valentines for us. Oh, and growing up we had Godz.illa parties...the food was green, everyone wore green, and we watched Godz.illa movies since he was green.

I think that's a good start. What are some of your thankfuls?

  1. People are starting to emerge—even though we didn't have much of a winter, we still seemed to hibernate but we're starting to see our neighbors again out on walks

    A couple of warm days and cocktail hour on the porch the other day (and the promise of summer to come)

    Naps (for everyone but me) made the afternoon/evening much nicer

    Taxes are done

    Two sugar shack dates this week
