1. Fall in Colorado. So pretty, cool and sunny, quiet and calm.
2. New slippers. I waited two years to get new ones, and now I understand why — they are perfect.
3. Really good friends. Seriously, I was just as happy to see them last night as I was to see Cheryl Strayed. These women are smart and interesting and funny. They make me feel safe, make me laugh, encourage and inspire me.
4. Cheryl Strayed! I met her last night, and she’s every bit as genuine and funny in person.
5. Ringo Blue is ten months old today. I am way stupid in love with this dog.
Bonus joy: my tender little heart, laughing, opportunities to teach more yoga, a soft place to land, apple season, heart shaped rocks from heart shaped friends, the most beautiful and delicate silver necklace that reminds me of my path, books and writers and readers, the way sweet Sam licks my face when he finds me crying, breakfast burritos from La Luz, the last of the watermelon, the good kind of chocolate, new music, how quiet my new office is, new sheets that are the same as the ones on the house at the beach, the weekend.

Oh my goodness, you got a new puppy. Congratulations Jill! I’m so happy for you.
Yes, we did. It doesn’t feel right to us to only have one. ♥
I am full to the brim with gratitude for this too, for you! So excited for you meeting C.S. & she read & responded to your post!!!
Thank you, Kathleen. It’s always so great to meet someone whose work you love and find out that they are also just a really really good person. ♥
Your new slippers are beautiful – I like the “cheery” red colour too !
Remembering to be grateful for things in our lives – even small things (maybe, especially small things),, like a lovely pair of new slippers…. I think this is what helps us find happiness in our day to day lives…
Yes, it helps us to realize that what we were looking for was right there all along. ♥
