Five things I appreciate today:
- A day home alone after all the holiday togetherness. I cleaned the house, did up some laundry, listened to uplifting music and enjoyable podcasts. It was a nice change of pace, even though I wasn't really ready for the holiday closeness to be over.
- My sweet husband's strength. I worked on shoveling snow off the back deck and the driveway for a couple hours, and made a dent. Then Dale got home and the tasks were completed in record time. He can make short work of a heavy-lifting job.
- The sound of Jodie learning to play her "big tuby saxy thing" ... otherwise known as the bass clarinet. She's new to the instrument, so there are a number of squawks coming from her room as she learns. Still, I love listening to her practice. I love that her interests keep expanding and she tries new skills with such enthusiasm.
- Shrimp Osaka and Pork Egg Rolls from Noodle Express. Yum.
- Hot water cascading over my sore body. We do live in a marvelous land that allows for hot, hot, hot clean running water, lovely scented soap, White Shoulders powder and flannel pajamas.
