- every few kilometres I see a single bird perched on top of a light post. Hawks? Falcons? Too big for a crow and too dark for a gull
- four dear friends come over to share a meal and laughter
- my mother's cake recipe - a baking quest for Jennifer and I - turns out just a bit better than ever before

Gratitude
This morning I was at a friend's beautiful home, visiting with her and her two little girls. As I drove away I found myself wishing for some of those same things in my life. And then . . .

honey, I'm home!
- Carmen is spending a few days with me as she studies. As I turn the key in the lock, I hear a cheery "hello!"
- Making dinner for two brings so much pleasure and gets my creative cooking juices going
- Carmen leaves for school and as she walks down the hall I'm already looking forward to having her back

tea for two
- Grace and I settle in for a night on the couch and web surfing
- There was a new teapot for Christmas and it's just the right size for two
- A gentle waft of orange meets me as I open the new box of tea

the best place on earth
- I'm so tired! Good thing I can go to bed
- My new flannel sheets are warm and cozy against the evening chill
- When I wash my bedding at Jen's place, I get to enjoy the smell of her lovely laundry soap all week long

what about today?
- Today I was anxiously awaiting job news. Tonight my email account and voice mail are filled with messages from others who are awaiting the news with me (still waiting)
- Time on the couch with a friend, a blanket, and a bowl of chocolate ice cream
- The speed of my new laptop continues to provide pleasure every time I use it

the sky's the limit
- Glancing up at a lit attic window, I see that the sloped walls and the ceiling have been painted as a blue sky with white billowy clouds
- I hear the morning radio host talking about the beautiful sunrise as I get ready for the day. Later, I see posts on Facebook about it. Even though I missed it, I'm glad that there was a beautiful start to the day
- One of my favourite things to do at my old job on the 13th floor was to come into the office just as the sun was rising. I would sneak into a colleague's west facing cubicle and soak in the first rays

sunshine, blue sky and feeling green
- simple, but good. the sun is out for the first time in what feels like weeks.
- the sky is so blue! I had forgotten.
- across the park I spy a house painted an entrancing shade of green with purple trim. it matches my current outfit.
