How can I resist a good, hearty dare?!?! :)

Again, ONLY five??? :)

1) That I can hear the rain on the roof of our new house...all...day....long
2) brushing my teeth....one of my favorite parts about beginning and ending the days.
3) Re-reading one of my favorite books - "The Sound of Paper"
4) Not having a to-do list today - for the first time in a LONG time. i just drove around in the rain and stopped and shops and made soup and ...
5) getting to know people like you

You look so cozy in this picture. :-) Okay the challenge...the challenge. he he

1.) The herbal hair dye that I used this weekend actually made my hair really shiny.
2.) I received my BEAUTIFUL scarf from a certain incredibly talented friend today and LOVE it.
3.) I had a lovely phone conversation with that same beautiful friend just yesterday.
4.) The sweet kiss that C gave me before he went off to bed tonight.
5.) The happiness in Ayden's eyes when I went to pick him up at my parent's tonight (and the warm soup my Mom gave us for dinner)

Sleep tight. Love.xoxoxo

those really are good things.
i didn't do five today exactly, but i did do a post about what i am grateful for today instead of posting just a photo for december views.
using a photograph to show your five (really) good things is a marvellous idea and i am inspired by your creativity. if you ran a creativity workshop, i'd be the first person to sign up!

only two more days of work and then a 4 day weekend!

giving a handmade gift to a very dear friend tomorrow.

knowing that anitbiotics that i got yesterday are going to kick this sickness in the pants and out the door!

1-You are always so inspiring with your creative projects and thought-provoking prompts.
2-The re-energizing of my women’s group at last night’s meeting – the potential of three really good friendships to further develop.
3-The peppermint creamer in my morning coffee.
4-I just found out I got an A in my graduate class this semester!
5-Receiving updated photos from my good friend Melissa in Tennessee showing her family’s holiday activities.
Happy Day!
