And tonight's edition of the Happiness/Gratitude list:
- Cassi's "need" for active participation in my early-morning writing sessions. Evidently I have no creativity in her absence (or at least she believes that).
- Tucker and shower time. This morning his furry little head was drenched. He had not a care in the world. Of course he never seems to have a care in the world. That's probably his quality that I treasure the most.
- Getting good news from two friends on the coast that they and their homes are fine (trees down, a few shingles off, but no big problems). Granted, I've got plenty of friends left to hear from....but two is a good start.
- Supper with two of my favorite girlfriends tonight. After my grueling week last week (and functioning under the expectation that this week won't be terribly different!), it was great to relax and laugh for an hour or two.
- Flowers in the kitchen and my bedroom from last night's festivities. I forget how much I truly enjoy having fresh flowers in the house. I need to stop forgetting that and just make it happen more often.
