monday smiles
January 14, 2008
Ten things to smile about right this second:
1) Beautiful new ceramic cups handcrafted by Amy Esther to replace leaky old plastic cups.
2) Sacred Life Sunday (I am doing my own sacred life thing on flickr these days: a daily photo and small blurb about it.)
3) Working with a client in a true collaboration. It’s fun and I am hoping it results in some beautiful finished pieces.
4) My snoring dog under my desk.
5) A giant stack of library books piled on the floor.
6) My super warm, old cotton duvet cover. It’s has holes by now, but I love it so.
7) Plots and schemes to turn that Mondo Beyondo list into something other than wistful dreaming.
8) Listening to Jewel in my studio and suddenly feeling the urge to email a friend I haven’t spoken to in years… and having her email back within the hour saying she was listening to the same album the night before and thinking of me! (R, I missed you so much.)
9) Wearing all the new clothes my mom-in-law and sis-in-law got me for Christmas. Feeling stylish and new.
10) The color yellow.
What are you smiling about today?

The Improv class I took last night. I broke out of my shell and the extra space feels great!

I’m grateful for my whirlpool bathtub right now. It is so warm and helps my aching joints from lifting furniture.

little guy running like crazy around me and laughing out loud about something only he knows :)

I always get the best smileys on my face from listening to my son play. It’s just so awesome! (especially listening to him play downstairs with papa from the safety of my home office).

I’m grateful for the feeling that something good is going to happen. And trying not to take on other people’s negative energies that they send out. It’s their problem, not mine! Recently, I’ve begun doing my own version of My Sacred Life onmy blog as well.I don’t know if I’ll do it for 14 days or 30. We’ll see what happens!

What am I smiling about:
- this post, for one
- an amethyst ring I bought because I kept a promise to myself and this is my reward.

i am also trying to replace things i am not crazy about with stuff that i love. it makes such a difference in my day - i think this is especially important for those of us who are at home all day long.

I’m happy that I’ve completed the “very” boring stuff of meetings, budgets and follow-ups for this week and I can sit here with my hair sticking up all over my head, an old sweatshirt, elastic waistband sweatpants, and pink fluffy slippers with pom-poms, knowing that I have a full 24 hours to create to my hearts content without any interruptions or worries! Life is soooo good!

Listening to the xmas beetles singing in the trees as the sun comes up, anticipating a full day of art creating,knowing I don’t have to cook today and thinking of a pile of new books I will be dipping into this evening.

Just stumbled across this post in my web meanderings - So amazing to see my cups being used and loved!! I hope they continue to make you smile. I know I certainly had a lot of fun making them, and nothing makes me happy more than seeing my babies in a happy home!
