1. Lemon Poppyseed Scones from Whole Foods.
2. Found recipe for Tomato Rhubarb Chutney. I can’t wait until we have fresh tomatoes again, for eating and to try this recipe. Our friends had a jar of tomato chutney on Christmas, served with cheese and crackers, and I could have eaten it straight out of the jar with a spoon. It was so good.
3. The Great Clear Out. I’ve been working for close to two weeks on clearing out my office space, which led to cleaning the garage, the front closet and dresser, and the “dog cabinet.” It feels so good to clear out some space, let go of things that no longer serve me, clean up and make room.
new shelves in the closet for my journals
4. Meditation practice. I’ve been having some horrible anxiety lately, as we try to figure out what’s up with Sam, determine how to help him, keep him comfortable (he has some sort of nerve issue in his lower jaw), and meditating is one of the only things that helps me to calm down.
5. Being on break with Eric. He’s one of the other things that helps me calm down. It’s good to get to spend some extra time with him right now.
Bonus Joy: The way Sam sometimes curls his feet under when he sleeps. This morning, he got on this bed under my writing desk because Eric had started the dryer and Sam has decided he doesn’t like laundry. He digs himself a little nest in the corner and tries not to think about it.

Love it! I’m grateful for my cat, sleeping near me and every few minutes stretching, while making an adorable sound. I’m grateful for blogging and the community it brings forth. My matte latte is amazing and I’m oh so grateful for the good rest I got last night. 🙂
Such good things, Lindsey. I’m grateful you shared them with me.
Your collection of journals makes me feel less self-conscious about my piles and piles, most of which are half-started, some empty and some actually full.
It’s a beautiful mess. ♥
