Okay...so lately I've been especially focused on continuous improvement...I'm always tempted to think more about continuous improvement than the glimpses of beauty that might shine through me. I have been struggling lately to remember these glimpses of beauty. After a drive through the mountains with my life long partner, I have a desire to focus as much energy on identifying the glimpses of beauty in my life as I do identifying areas for growth. There are so many simple things that happen from day to day that I feel good about. It is crazy for me to lose sight of these things. Some things I feel good about today...
- Slept In--pausing, relaxing and prayers of thanks before my feet hit the floor.
- Drank coffee for breakfast with my hubby--Coffee makes me happy, especially if it is fair trade and with my hubby!
- Went with Jer to Goodwill to shop for some cheap cheap clothes~it's a pink day~ I bought a pink corduroy jacket for $10 Yay! --Cheap is a value of mine.
- Called my dad and talked for about 2 hours--love you dad!
- Went with my friend Rhoda and her friend Amy to downtown Seattle to watch the lighting of the massive Christmas tree--oooh so much fun being a short person...can meander through crowds, lots of joy and excitement about small things.
- drank a free sample of Starbucks coffee...oooh yummy!
- took pics of me-n-Rhoda pretending to be mannequins outside the Christmas Displays--I'm not afraid to make a fool of myself.
- danced to Christmas music on the street..."Dancin' in the Street!" --fun, fun, having fun
- Listened to the band, Over the Rhine, for free on the internet--http://www.overtherhine.com/ ---good music
- Ate thanksgiving leftovers...my friend Rhoda made these yummy homeade rolls! --I appreciate homemade stuff!
need I say more...
