The little details

[limewave]

The days are officially getting longer, now--woot!

Double-woot!

It was sunny yesterday. I rode my bike along the beach just to soak in all those rays.

Aw, Zen, if I lived closer I'd make you a cup of something and help you unpack.

A new tasty-smelling tea to try out.
I figured out how I'm going to write my personal statement (well, one of them). Now I just need to do it. It's due on the first!

Living in CA I don't have the bad weather and dark days as bad as some of you but we have had a bad spell of rain that is causing havoc everywhere. Problem with a desert as Southern California is, the land doesn't know what to do with alot of water.

That said, this morning there are clear skies. With that came a view I don't get very often, the Santa Ana River is filled to capacity and flowing strong and the San Gabriel Mountains are covered with snow. This is the view I have from my office window right now... it's hard not to just sit and stare. For a Californian this scene is rare and very special!!!! I so want to get out and ride right now!!!!

The little thing: Thankful to be warm inside drinking a hot cup of tea while the wind howls outside my window.

The big things: Thankful to have a husband and doggie who love me. Thankful to have a family to spend Christmas with, even though it's a lot smaller than it once was. Very, very thankful to have my health - just heard from a friend that her breast cancer is back (well after the 5-yr survival period) and is incurable.

Glad to be off work for a little vacation and stay in the warm to watch the snow outside. Stocked up on firewood to spend a few lazy evenings with a roaring fireplace, a good book, and a nice cup of tea or a beer.

Glad to spend Christmas with friends from church - family is just too far away.

I played tennis three mornings in a row with wonderful people to compete and smile with.

I don't have to travel this holiday season and will enjoy the fire, a book to read, some friends for dinner on Christmas, and all my holiday lights sparkling away.

We just had a wonderful snow fall last night and it was so nice to shovel this morning to a full or almost full moon. What a beautiful sight.

Our newly adopted black kitty made Mark very happy last night by curling up against his stomach to cuddle for part of the night. He usually prefers me cause I don't wiggle too much in bed!

It just doesn't get any better.
