1. A quiet morning in my new house. I slept in a little and, after getting J & S out the door, am enjoying a huge cup of french pressed coffee.
2. Warm, persistent sunshine. After what even hardy Vermonters have called a long winter, we have enjoyed a full week of gorgeous weather.
3. Gardening. Over the weekend, my mom dug a bunch of her fool-proof perennials and I've gotten them in the ground. Sweet pea and I planted loads of Cosmos seeds that are reaching high. I'm going to pick up a composter for our new home today.
4. My renewed gym membership. I let it lapse this fall as I was working a lot and on the road often. Not good. Not good at all. After spending several weeks revisiting the university gym and remembering why I hate going there (do I need to see the thong emerging from your butt shorts? do I care that the bouncer overlooked your obviously fake id? do I want to hear about your walk of shame? That would be no, no and NO). I went to yoga last night and am off to Zumba this morning. (Try Zumba- it's so fun!) I love my gym- great hours (even when I'm working a lot), great classes, great pools (even a splash one for S). Love it.
5. My sweetheart. Who didn't grumble while I danced the night away when he wasn't feeling so hot. Who lovingly and patiently puts his nose to the grindstone and gets stuff done while I pursue my dream. Who is an amazing parent to our little guy. Who challenges me and comforts me- and forgives me when I am not so kind. Who has the warmest heart and softest arms to snuggle into.
I am so lucky.
