Happy Leap Day!
What are you doing to celebrate this auspicious day? I’m starting new African Violets from leaf cuttings, and continuing to dream of spring …
… despite the reality of what we woke up to this morning …
Here are 29 moments I think were worthy of celebrating this leap day of 2016:
- Waking up at 5:00 and having a full quiet hour to myself.
- Sipping that first, hot cup of coffee.
- Watching the sky light up before 6:45am.
- Eating crispy toast and peanut butter (with a side of Nutella).
- Walking with friends.
- Kicking the soft, fluffy snow as I walked.
- Sipping hot chocolate.
- A hot bath.
- A hot lunch.
- Catching up on Instagram.
- Taking photos.
- Perfect light for taking said photos.
- Pretty sheer curtains in the kitchen … perfect as a photography background.
- Feeling like I have my groove back.
- Sitting at the kitchen table with my computer, editing photos, and working on my blog.
- Flipping through inspirational books.
- Sipping apple cider tea from Teavana.
- Listening to Norah Jones.
- Watching birds and squirrels at the feeder.
- Having a fire going in the fireplace.
- Fresh flowers.
- Succulents that made it through the winter.
- A clean house.
- Knowing that supper will be leftovers (no cooking.)
- Not having to go anywhere.
- Peace and quiet in my house (and a fridge that is virtually silent.)
- I just finished a good book, and am planning to start another one today.
- It’s March 1st tomorrow. Winter, you will have to give way sooner or later.
- I wrote a blog post! Woot!
Now … can you list 29 things you think were worthy of celebrating today? You don’t have to share, just sit and let your thoughts flow out onto the page … who knows, maybe by the time you go to bed you’ll have 29 x 2 celebratory moments. That’s what I’m aiming for. Either way, I hope it was a lovely one!
