1/30/08 happiness is...

coffee in a ceramic mug
the album Zulu Jive
the innocence of a four year old excited by a penny…wanting to know who’s face that is, etc and who doesn’t seem bothered by the fact that a penny is monetarily worthless.

1/28/08 spending time with my son

i’ve been awful about posting stuff to this goal, though we have certainly been doing stuff! yesterday we went to an arboretum by our house and explored some trails and a creek then kicked around a soccerball for a while. the weather was perfect and the day was great.

1/2/08 happy things...

getting out from under a big deadline…finally completed the project
selling our house
moving into our new house

done!

just after figuring that our house wouldn’t have any more interest until the spring, we had a young couple that LOVED it, looked at it twice, showed their parents, made an offer and we closed in two weeks, just before christmas! we’re in our new place and chipping away at the mountains of boxes.
