( raw notes )

A good day. I felt very dragged out in the morning, and didn't do much in the way of journaling. It may have been mostly blood sugar, and I was ok by the time I got to work, A little while after that I got a happy, almost bubbly call from cflute that got the rest of the day off to a great start. We agreed that it was wonderful to have good things to talk about. The last year has been horrific for both our families; we're ready for Samhain to bring us a bright, shiny new one with good jobs for those who need them, good health for all of us, and homes filled with music, love and contentment.

I followed this with a walk around the pond; I took 10 minutes out for meditation, and another five or so to simply sit and watch the beautiful koi. I could feel my mood lighten. I returned to work and was contentedly productive for the rest of the afternoon, turning an ancient EeePC into an Unbuntu server that can be taken to Japan next week for a portable version of $DEMO.

There were too many conversations going on for me to sing, but I came out of my hole for some up-tempo noodling a couple of times.

Yeah; a good day. Let's have some more of them.

Thankful Thursday

... and it's Thursday. Today I am thankful for:

• Colleen, and progress toward recovery which, while slow, is still progress.
• Our respective sisters-of-choice.
• Forgiveness.
• Having good things to talk about for a change.
• Helpful and supportive friends.
• A helpful teenage daughter (I know, that sometimes sounds like a contradiction).
• Beautiful things: koi, birds, flowers, trees, ... Beautiful people, too.
• Learning to notice and enjoy little pleasures.
