{Gratitude Lately}

Lately, I've been thankful for

Blue skies and Blue Angels.

Sampling a new wine on Mother's Day.

Dramatic sunrises and soaking rains.

Well... it could have been worse.

Great food and enduring friendships

Leftovers from that delicious dinner.

My daughter's successful career and happiness.

Fashion Jackson

Family visits and birthday celebrations.

Open highways on a beautiful day in Nebraska.

Wild dreams 

and a retirement countdown with this guy!

and, Adirondack Margaritas on the porch.

Happy Sunday, friends!

Lately, I've been thankful for

Inexpensive wine that tastes great!

Beautiful sunrises that make

 my early commute more tolerable.

My beautiful tree-lined neighborhood

 and that gorgeous sunrise.

This girl who knows just

how to spend her Saturday mornings.

Bike rides on a 

wind-free day in Nebraska!

Cool neighborhood yard art!

An extra hour in my day, 

thanks to Daylight Savings Time.

Short commutes and beautiful skies.

The beauty of spring blossoms.

Neighborhood trees in full bloom.

Tulips in my garden that, for once,

 the squirrels and rabbits ignored.

This sky.

That cloud!

Friday afternoons and this view from a stoplight.

Soaking rains and double rainbows.

and most of all, these two.

Happy Sunday, friends!

{Gratitude Lately}

Lately, I've been thankful for

Friends who share

and delicious Manhattans

Music and memories

 of my youth

This sweet girl,

 who reminds me

 to stop and smell the snow

Adventures in distant countries

and the joy of memories

Winter sunsets 

through the trees

Saturday nights

and shared snacks

Friday nights

and a new bottle of wine

Creative neighbors

and the joy they share

Valentine's Day 

with my best friend

 Snail mail 
and cute 2-year-olds

Open windows in February

Creative community art

Grilling in February

 in Nebraska

Beautiful commutes

that make early mornings 

worthwhile

and the first sign of spring.

Happy Sunday, friends!

{Gratitude Lately}

Lately, I've been thankful for

Good friends 

who make birthdays more fun

Friday nights 

with homemade pizza 

and a movie

Guac-in-a-box 

from two special people 

in Southern California

A job that helps me 

justify my fondness 

for wine and chocolate

Sweet memories 

of a Christmas past

Fun memes 

on Instagram

Birthday gifts 

from thoughtful friends

Time to read

before lights out

Favorite foods

that I could eat

every.single.day

Cozy afternoons 

that require nothing more

than a cup of tea

New bourbon 

to keep us warm 

on a frigid night 

(-17 windchill!)

and this man, 

who never once hesitates 

to venture out with this pup, 

no matter how damn cold it is!

Happy Sunday, friends!
