ten things, a quick list
February 25, 2008
Ten things worth cheering about right now:
1. Carrots dipped in hummus.
2. Not being scared to go to an event/party/thing. (A dress and shoes that I felt comfortable and groovy in were KEY. Who knew. I am really embracing this girlie crap. hee)
3. Coffee-shops with enormous mugs and green walls.
4. Finally putting together all our tax materials.
5. A new surprise (scratch that — 2 new surprises to announce later this week).
6. Eckhart Tolle’s “A New Earth” (the Oprah book thing right now). Are y’all reading this too? It feels like the entire planet is…
7. My sister not being able to see her feet anymore because her belly is large and in charge now. Go Lauren and my first niece or nephew!
8. Netflix.
9. Scribbling.
10. Wanting to gobble the library up.
What are you cheering about? Let’s spread it around like peanut butter.

I’m cheery about being accident prone but still lucky. Last night I spilled me cup ‘o’ joe, but was able to salvage more than half the mug. Here’s to reflexes!

Peanut butter toast and tea; my first painting day for a new kid’s book; a quiet terrier; listening to ‘once’ soundtrack (hooray for their oscar!); feeling that spring is right around the corner; hearing other artists being positive and happy!
February 26th, 2008 at 8:39 am
->A quiet terrier? Never seen that happening.:o)
->Carrots dipped in hummus= perfect combination!
I doubt I could put together 10 things right now but might try later on my blog…It’s always good to appreciate these simple things but easy to forget them too.

the peanut butter you can keep :)
but the carrots dipped in hummous - or celery, fresh runner beans, mange toute peas, mini sweetcorn ….. gorgeous ……….. and not very student friendly if I’m teaching!

I am also reading A New Earth…it really changes the way we look at things. I find that I can see past people’s words and understand that they are just that…words. And we are so much more than our egos. Yea, it is very insightful! I am grateful for the quiet of a snowy day, and that I can work from home, looking out at white snow, hungry little birds, and big, Indiana trees…and for the sweetest little calico cat sitting on my lap purring while I drink coffee and explore new ways to teach my nursing students. Life is pretty good in the present!
February 26th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
Penelope, your blog gives me hope every day! Thank you, and hurray for hummus!
My personal cheer for the day: Seeing sustainability lessons I wrote over a year ago actually being taught to kids today! Woohoo!
February 26th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
You guys are so kind. Thank you for your uplifting words! And your fun lists… I love the little things. Don’t you? :)
