five (really) good things on december 12
1) laughing until my cheeks hurt so much i have to try to stop laughing in order to stop my cheeks from hurting but instead i just keep laughing some more
2) spending an extra hour in bed with miss millie this morning...she was curled up against me and i think we could have stayed there together all day (i say could because at least one of us, okay both of us, would have whined for breakfast or a bathroom break at some point)
3) really, really soft yarn and the thoughts of the gift it will become
4) listening to frank, bing, doris, and dean sing a few christmas tunes
5) remembering that perfection is really not the goal of it all

Thanks for your blog; I really enjoy reading it!
checking a few things off my list::the smell of our Christmas tree::folded laundry::christmas cookies::the sound of my dishwasher running.
always so fun. a simple reminder to remember the simple pleasures.
Only five??? :) This won't be hard. :)
1) the idea of cleaning my desk. I love cleaning my desk and though it looks dreadful, I know it won't take me long. Did I mention I love cleaning off my desk? Really. I do!
2) Seeing the girls walk down the frozen hill to the bus stop in the foggy-near-dark this morning - in their pajamas (it's pajama day at school) with the cat following not wanting to be left behind. :)
3) the fire in the wood stove. yum.
4) knowing that I'm taking really good care of my body for, really, the first time in my life. Certainly there is room for improvement (i DID have a chocolate mint godiva experience last night, but a girl's gotta vacation once ina while, eh?) but I'm doing great.
5) being able to say "I'm doing great" and not feel like i'm lying to myself.
6)...oh, you said five. Okay. I'll stop. :)
I love the way you gently pull me into a state of conscious gratitude. Thank you.

Hi Liz,
Well I am two days late, so I actually did a five (really) good things on my blog today instead, and linked back to you. I hope you don't mind.
In fact, one of the five things WAS you, so I thought I should leave you a note to say 'thanks'. You helped me to remember to be 'here'.
Regards, Bec
Hi Liz :) Sorry I'm late, can I still tag along? I love your inspiration, thank you.
1. Being finished with all the college assignments I had to hand in before Christmas.
2. The best Christmas dinner I have ever had, with D yesterday. It was the humblest, simplest little thing, but it was ours.
3. One of the most healing acupuncture treatments that I still feel the effects of two days later.
4. Being able to sleep for as long as I like tomorrow morning.
5. I agree with ceanandjen, YOU.
