Day 16,175

(From my photo archives: 2/7/08)

APPRECIATING ...
My photography archives and the fact that I am longing to get back behind the lens. I used to be diligent about posting photos, particularly with other blogs that I have had in years past (but are now long gone). I am grateful that the camera bug (like the art bug, the writing bug, the travel bug, etc.) only goes dormant but never fully goes away.

CELEBRATING ...
The first labyrinth walk of 2010. It was a damp, brisk walk as it almost always is at this time of year beside the river. We had a bit of a hustle in our step as we worked our way inward and back out. My Angel Card drawn in the center was BEAUTY. Interesting, considering one has to work rather hard at first to see it in January. But it's there, awaiting acknowledgement. Always there.

BASKING ...
In the smell of homemade chicken soup on the stove combined with a fresh fire to keep us warm. I have yoga class tonight and you can bet that I will make haste when it is over to get home to that soup and to rest my weary (but limber) bones by the hearth.

SAVORING ...
Three. Count 'em. Three! Three back issues of Sunset Magazine loaned to me by my neighbor. *swoon* How is it that a girl from southwestern Ohio who has only been out West three (count 'em!) times could love this publication so much?

PRAISING ...
Myself for taking the deep breath and big leap today and moving forward with establishing the pilot group for my upcoming feng shui e-course. I'm delighted and excited and, well, a bit nervous too. This offering has been on my wish list for years. If all goes well, it will be available for public consumption in late spring.
