five (really) good things on a day in july
listening to millie snore beside me
having a bit of success taking product photos outside (this is the hardest part to me...i can get so annoyed with myself during this process...i am learning)
enjoying a beautiful cool day in mid-july
watching the movie penelope (have you seen it yet? you must!)
inviting myself to take a breath and then let go just a bit more when reflecting on disappointments, pain, or confusion from the past...just a bit more...(let it go)
what are your five really good things?
think about it.
then name them...
i dare you.

lemme see, okay:
my dog let me sleep late this morning.
my daughter woke up sunny instead of grumpy.
i gave away a big box of mosaic materials that I was never going to use, and the person who got it is making a mosaic to benefit victims of human trafficking.
I headed out of town to the boyfriend's house and we spent the afternoon swimming at the town pool, then had barbecue.
When we went into town to get coffee and ice cream, there was live music in the park, so we got a free concert.
thanks for the challenge to make this list, i'm going to try to make it a daily habit! xxoo lisa s
