this weekend: a string o' gratitude
* new bathroom towels & cloths - hot pink, blue & white * a clean nest * jelly beans * wide open windows * wearing a fleece & leaving my hat, scarf & gloves at home * a 24 hour visit with a friend, dh, from college: talking at my "kitchen" table (this table is also the space where i do quite a bit of writing & art making); lunch at a new favorite restaurant; walking around the city; sitting in the park; people watching; delighting in the endless flow of reconnecting conversation; laughter; playing cards; vegetarian chinese for dinner; a sweet Lucy Kaplansky concert - i was touched by her spoken & sung words; preparing for a restful sleep in my twinkle lit nest; waking before dh, reading in my bed & appreciating the presence & the life & the breath of another; and, saying "goodbye" & "see you in june" with a thankful embrace * listening to Hallelujah & Let It Be * three loads of laundry laundered (involving 6 trips up & down 5 flights of stairs!) * a sunday afternoon & evening & night to treasure *

I love your lists...every time I visit your blog my breath slows and a smile forms on my lips...I am so grateful I found your site!
You have the most wonderful way of looking at the world, Gem. I can't wait until we are able to meet.
I absolutely *love* this list, and the lovely shot of your inspiration string. Both just made my afternoon. :)
mmmmm. just reading your list here is relaxing, slows the heart. i've been running, scrambling, and it has been nice to be calmed.
