- spotting a statue, normally nude, (one of the rather well known giant ones by the CBE building), that someone had dressed. I noticed from the bus, and it totally made me laugh out loud. It looked like it was wearing a rasta wig!
- Friday!
- a mango smoothie for breakfast
- wearing jeans at the office
- that moment on Friday when you turn off your alarm clock, and know it's off for the whole weekend
- a compliment from a tiny, elderly cleaning lady who I shared an elevator with for two floors. She told me I was very beautiful. (At the time I was sweaty from running an errand on foot in the heat, midway through a busy and stressful afternoon, and feeling totally discombobulated.) It made me smile, because she looked me in the eyes, pausing as she disembarked the elevator, and stopped to tell me.
- good bus connections to get home
- hanging out with a friend I've known since high school, for dinner and drinks, and then a bit of book shopping
- sharing a sarcastic sense of humor with her, especially as we commented about the obviously quite new, and fairly incompetent server who waited on us tonight
- bookstore browsing while continuing a never-ending conversation. (and hello - got the special edition Peanuts Moleskins, which I've been eyeing, for 50% off!)
- Just now as I was writing this list my dad knocked on my door and asked if I wanted to see the Northern Lights. Seeing them is incredible, even when you're in the middle of a city with all it's ambient light.

Daily 5 - Year 3, Day 24
Today's Daily 5:
In between...
In between a thousand and one little things and commitments this week, I'm:
- thankful for some tiny answers to prayer
- offering up prayers for some acquaintances whose newly adopted 2.5 year old daughter was diagnosed with leukemia this week
- recognizing that working means I don't have the time I used to have, and sorting out what will be a priority, and what might be scrapped all together
- trying to take more time for private journaling
- fitting in reading in fits and starts, mostly while commuting from place to place
- paring down the blogs in my google reader, and setting up a folder system there - no more subscribing just because you had one good post, I don't have time to read through it all anymore... and some are going into a folder for consumption on weekends, when I have time, only...
- trying to sort out times and spaces for stealing just a bit of quiet
