Ten things

[vaneramos]

"Post 10 things that are going right in your life right now. I don't care how small."

I ganked this from vaysha because I need it just now. Besides, it's Thanksgiving weekend. Focusing on the good is always worthwhile.

1. I had liver and mushrooms with green beans and potatoes for dinner (and discovered tapioca flour makes decent gravy).
   
2. It feels good to be walking every day, no matter how much trouble I have with the rest of my routine.
   
3. After the mock interview on Thursday, I'm a little less afraid of real ones.
   
4. I met my writing partner at the Red Brick Café this afternoon. I wrote a poem about a difficult subject, for me. I was afraid it was self-absorbed, but Sarah D, on reading, said it was universal.
   
5. It's great to have new friends. Sarah D and Michele have been looking out for me this week, and invited me to Shabbat at their apartment last night. My wheat-free apple crisp made everyone happy.
   
6. It's great to have old friends. I'm looking forward to turkey dinner with Sylvie and Sarah S tomorrow.
   
7. I'm becoming better friends with Dad than ever before.
   
8. Michele and I agreed this week, we're lucky to have partners who calm us down. I'm always happy around Danny.
   
9. My new doctor is super.
   
10. A tub of black walnuts is fermenting in the hall, getting ready to dye yarn next week.
    
11. Bonus thing: Guelph is a beautiful place to live, and the weather has been gorgeous lately.

Now, for me, a tub of black walnuts fermenting in the hall would be a bad thing and an indication that I was too out of it to take the garbage out last week.

Oh, but it's turning out a wonderful dark brown dye! I can hardly wait to dip yarn in it.

Wow! What a great list. Is that your dad? I love the photo. I think this is probably a very helpful practice, I was glad when Vaysha's post reminded me to do it.

No, he is just a random vendor at Guelph Farmers' Market. I had taken some photos there yesterday morning, and it related to my point about the beauty of the place I live.

Here is my most recent photo of Dad, along with daughters and boyfriends.
