~A big beautifully arranged pot of wildflowers delivered to the front desk at work, with a note from "my secret admirer". I'm very intrigued. I have NO IDEA who it is!
(There was something cryptic about more surprises to come on Friday! Didn't seem connected to my birthday. Hmmm.)
~Turning 45

I guess it beats the alternative!
~An extra day off (3 day "weekend") to celebrate out of town.
~Shimmering gold in the trees.
~Driving across Independence Pass for the first time ever!
~Autumn awe at 12,000 feet!
~Getting in too late to set up my tent, and happening into probably the most reasonable decent hotel in town, because I HAD to find a bathroom.

~A soak in the whirlpool under the stars. Awwwwww!
~Tomorrow, (my b-day), I will see the awesome Maroon Bells for the first time!
~Memories of the only other time I was in Aspen . . . how very young I was . . . in 1986.
~This computer in the hotel lobby.
~Hot Mandarin Orange Spice Tea

I am thankful for...
Soft, drizzly days
Snow fields encircled by ghost trees
Music
Autumn
Long rambles in the hills
Time alone
Hand-made paper and sharp pencils
The sound of rushing water
Moonlight and starshine
Work
Understanding and forgiveness
Sight, sound, touch, taste, smell, and mobility
Memories
The tales that all things have to tell

A candleflame in Tibet leans when I move. - William Stafford

self adhesive stamps
no spill ketchup containers
green lights at every intersection
Zoloft
sheep playing in a field
early morning hours
long drives in the mountains
campfires
fresh sheets taken out of the dryer

castles made of sand, fall in the sea, eventually..

today i am thankful for...

...that moment when we both slowly, gently become conscious of each other, and he pulls me closer, telling me he loves me, and how does breakfast sound?
