wed and today

wed:

1. having the energy and inspiration to unpack a huge amount of boxes that i've been avoiding and seeing the space and beauty it created
2. seeing my cousin for the first time in three years since his (long-term) visit to china
3. trader joes ready-made pizza crust - my calzones were a hit!
4. jeff's face when he got back from his motorcycle ride
5. lea and i having a great afternoon strolling around half moon bay without any tantrums

nugget: life goes in stages so don't get too upset when things get rough; things will inevitably shift just when you wanted to give up

today:

1. lea only woke 2 times last night....it's been 4+ since we moved
2. time today to draft my plan for 2009 to ensure i meet my goals - never too late!
3. the amazing view of the ocean from all angels of our home
4. my 2 new books that i picked up yesterday at the new bookstore/gallery, both of which has inspired me more than i can know (kristen, i asked about showing my work too! i told her you sent me :)
5. feeling hopefully even though the morning was turbulent
