ten things…a quick list
I admit taking my cue for this from my fav illustration blogger, Penelope.
So here’s my list of ten things to be happy about right now…(how’s that for being positive?).
- long walks in the warmer weather
- my sketchbook
- a new wacom tablet
- completing projects that have been hanging over my head for months
- seeing the first robin (come on Spring!)
- my warm, fuzzy cat curled up purring on the footstool
- cinnamon oatmeal and watching the Upside Down Show with my son in the morning (it’s hilarious even if it is a kid show)
- Kimya Dawson’s music and the entire Juno soundtrack
- red zinger tea
- spiritual growth (developing a closer relationship with God)
The weather has been completely nutty here and my allergies are kickin’ in. It makes being positive a struggle when you are coughing and struggling to breathe (not something one should take for granted). I did notice the first robin of the warm season yesterday afternoon and had to take a very happy mental note as he marks the beginning of the season I love best and the ending to a very long, dark winter during which I was deathly ill.
Getting dangerously close to one’s own mortality can be a life-changing and humbling event. Trust me. So here I am, alive and enjoying what I have right now. That’s not an easy thing to do.
Cheers to all of you!
