-Getting the hang of our new camera and really enjoying taking pictures with it. I get challenged by learning new “technical” things. I had finally gotten the hang of using our old camera, so I was frustrated to learn a new one. But when I started using it, I discovered that it is such a better camera.

-Having an incredible dream that I was on a beautiful nature trail and found a wide variety of edible mushrooms everywhere. I was filling up my favorite backpack basket with them and there were so many I couldn’t even bring them all home with me. I was so excited.
–
-Jeff making Bracken a wooden toy that is the perfect size for him to hold and great to chew on. He loves it.
–
-Embracing a few naps throughout the week that I really needed.
–
-Putting the “new” rugs down in the living room. There was a spot in the living room that needed a few little rugs. I scored two cotton, woven rag rugs in fun colors at the thrift store. They cost hardly anything and made for a much cozier and more beautiful living room nook. Sometimes just the simplest touch can make a big difference.

-Seeing SMILE! It worked.
–
-Avocados on sale at the grocery store. We LOVE avocados.
–
-Jeff finding a bag of dog food at the store that had a small rip in the bag, which had been taped up. They marked it down over 50% off!
–
-Getting my daily Vitamin D on some of those sunny days.
–
-Being with Jeff in his workshop and noticing his body looked slightly uncomfortable at his sanding machine. I wondered if we raised it up higher, if it would help? We tried it. It did! Good ergonomics are so important when you are in a certain position for long periods of time.
–
-Eating fruit in the bathtub. There is something so fun about it. It just seems decadent somehow.
–
-Getting a package from Bulgaria, which was very exciting. It was a birthday present from my sister, who ordered from an Etsy artist in Bulgaria. I was so delightfully surprised!
–
-Each morning feeling a little bit better than the one before. Knowing this “bug” won’t last forever, thank goodness!
–
-Seeing all your entries for the giveaway so far. What fun inspiration!
–
-Waking up on a Saturday at the time we would normally be leaving the house for market.
–
-Realizing how very grumpy being in pain can make you. It gives me compassion for all of those who are in constant pain in their bodies. Most of the people in the world who are not very “enjoyable” to be around, are very uncomfortable in their bodies.
