I'm still (mostly) relaxed from my great vacation I posted about here. It really was a great time. Even the flights went smoothly (okay, there was a little turbulence but it was minimal and all the rest of the flight/airport experience was unusually free of stress).
Other things making me happy lately:
^A new-to-me cookie recipe that was both easy to make and delicious. I'll be posting about it soon.
^That while we got tons of rain from recent storms, we had no tornadoes or hail.
^The robins are arriving. Which means, although we are headed into another cold spell, that we're not going to have much more snow before the weather stays warm. Typically we get a good snowstorm shortly after the first robins are seen, and then maybe one or two more that melt within a day. So, we are officially through the hard part of winter.
^On sunny days I've found a few half-hour sessions to work on getting the beading done on a Santa counted cross stitch that I'd worked on last year, intending for it to be done in time for Christmas gifting. It wasn't. But it will be this year!
^I finally finished the Yoga Camp series that I started in early 2025, unintentionally took the summer and fall off from and picked up again in January 2026. So 30 days of yoga was spread out over nearly a year, but hey, I completed what I started. ✊
^After coming home from vacation and catching up on tasks at this little place here I started a new yoga series by the same person: Revolution, which is 31 days. Let's see if I can get all the days done before the end of summer. (Doing yoga daily is not something I am able to fit into my schedule, so I aim for 2-3 days per week).
^Some ruminations about shedding the most recent phase of our lives (say the last 10 years or so) and stepping into the next, complete with purging of stuff that isn't needed any longer, doing some long put-off projects and switching thinking about DH's retirement from the long term to the short term as regard to plans and looking at it in months (36? Less? Slightly more?) rather than years (5-10 depending on economy).
^Possibly a new horse coming to live at this little place here in April.
^I finished knitting the socks I'm planning to surprise my Mom with on Mother's Day.
^I started knitting a pair of socks intended as my Dad's Fathers Day present. Really, when I was packing for vacation I decided that Mom's socks were so near completion it didn't make sense to take those, as I might be done with them before even boarding the flight taking us to Orlando. So I grabbed yarn for a pair for Dad, chose a pattern, and took those to Florida instead.
What are some things making you smile these days?
