Grateful Friday

Mika on my art table

In the midst of a bout of the February Blahs, I thought I'd list a few things for which I am grateful to help pick me up:

• Sunshine, blue skies and milder temperatures!
• Local berries frozen last summer for a midwinter treat
• Two paintings produced this past week: Giselle and Mika (above)
• D, Cassie and our home
• My health
• Fresh, organic, local veggies delivered to my door every Friday
• Friends and family
• An evening of laughter, Pictionary and Rock Band with D's brother and his girlfriend
• Three boxes of stuff purged, packed and dropped off at Sally Ann
• An evening of reading and writing at my local coffee shop
• Squam Art Workshops
• Free outdoor concerts during Winterlude, Ottawa's winter carnival
• The Mad Chatters
• A creative burst of energy and the opportunity to learn how to manage it so I don't crash
• Wonderful blogs that inform, entertain and inspire
• An obligation-free three-day weekend coming up

I feel better already. :)
