When I was in high school and a freshman in college, I used to keep a notebook that was a list of every good thing that happened to me during the day from the big to the small.  I still have the notebook somewhere, and the final entry probably says something like:

- didn’t die during my speech in Communications

- Daniel tackled me in the snow on the way to class. (He did get snow in my backpack, but Lord, we physically touched for a few seconds!)

- went rock climbing with Daniel and Jonah.

That picture I just drew you, pretty much sums up my first year of college.

Anyway, below is a list of just a few of my recent wins in life.

- bought vintage fabric with the intention to teach myself how to make curtains

- this has been the mildest (and therefore best) winter in recent history. 

- new niece Anna! 

- lots of time spent with parents and in-laws

- new lavendar highlighter from the office supply closet

- lemon cake from Cafe Europa
