I agree! BTW: your last post was great, I just have a hard time processing these quickly changing but life-altering events and then putting my thoughts into a neat understandable ‘comment.’

I have a few of the same except change number 1 to coffee this morning and the anticipation of a good day. And I am good friends with my ball point pen, heavy and old fashioned. No errands today running but if done by 11 am and out of the gym, I am good. Enjoy your day.

LA,
Nothing like being seated right away at your favorite restaurant and then seeing long lines of waiting people as you’re leaving! This list is a wonderful way to show and experience gratitude! By the way, I’ve always wanted to try a crepe cake! A souffle, too. Who knows, maybe it’ll happen this year. ๐ ๐ Mona
