Daily 5 - Year 2, Day 123

So, today was not quite as long and crazy as yesterday, but it had its moments, and I'm not caught up on the reverb 10 project.  Hopefully over the weekend!

In the meantime, here's today's daily 5:

1. waking up at mom and dad's after a mid-week sleepover due to last night's late night and today's early morning, much easier public transit access from their house
2. collecting some wrapping paper scraps from the toy shoppe at work for a project I'm working on
3. incredible joy and smiles on people's faces as they shop for their kids
4. having great joy at work, even amidst some really chaotic moments
5. House church Christmas dinner tonight
6. some really great conversations with friends
7. a steak sandwich (red meat was just what I needed as this crazy week has been sapping some energy!)
8. home decently early
9. a few good hugs from friends
10. feeling joy in the holiday season - not generally my favorite time of year at all, but this year I'm learning about anticipation and excitement, instead of painful, dragging, waiting through Advent, and it's a lovely change.
