Noticing the Blessings

Being so busy over the last three weeks, getting ready for a couple of shows, my "noticer" went on hiatus.  But I was grateful that it popped right back into action today when I had time to slow down.  Here's a list of a few of blessings that today brought.

• My young son's socked foot always finds another socked foot under the kitchen table.  It's an egalitarian foot; it doesn't care whom it belongs to.

• My husband brings me flowers on a pretty regular basis.  Carries them all the way home on the train. (Yes.  I know how lucky I am. Totally.)  I love seeing what colors he picks for me and that they're wrapped in crackle-y deli paper.

• My older son cracking jokes and the whole family laughing.

• My jeans fit okay.  (Yes.  This is a blessing.  It doesn't rank with like world peace or something, but it ranks.)

• Reading for an hour in the green armchair, on this rainy day, with several rounds of tea in my favorite fat mug.

• A fridge full of healthy food.

• Walking with my friend.

• Pink flowering cherry trees and bright yellow forsythia layering their colors in my front yard.

• A new gold Sharpie.

• Cracking a glazed kiln load, and seeing bright, shiny pieces staring back up at me.

What did YOU notice today?  What made you feel lucky?
