This morning...

... I am grateful for:

:: tulips my honey brought me yesterday and him knowing I'd rather have tulips than red roses...

:: a red cyclamen we bought together this weekend
:: the fact that we can plant both of them outside when we are done enjoying them in the house

:: a big piece of chocolate ganache torte (yum!) that our friends Doris and Alberto brought us for Valentine's Day

:: dates filled with herbed cream cheese, something my sister taught me when I last stayed with her (double yum!)

:: mini cupcakes our friend Jennefer and her family made and shared for Valentine's Day.
:: having had two mini cupcakes for breakfast (yum again!)
:: taking a walk with Winslow this morning in the fresh air after a day of rain
:: spying a great heron roosting way up in a tall pine tree
:: the wonder at how they don't fall over standing on a branch on one leg
:: having time to paint this morning
:: being surrounded by a creative mess in my studio
:: making a decision not to take a college class this next quarter and rather having time for other things and my own art
:: still feeling like my cold might not be a cold at all - nothing has happened beyond a sore throat yesterday
:: feeling so absolutely right with my world

Wishing you a creative day!!
