high/low

a game i like to play with friends to catch up, get the gist of their day is called high/low. i'm sure some of you have played it before. it's easy enough: you go around in a circle and each person says the high of their day, and the low of their day. i like it not only to catch up with others, but as a way to evauluate my day and really focus in on what's going on for me and how i feel about things. it's also a GREAT way to count blessings in disguise.

in light of having a heavy, news-laden day yesterday, as well as being reminded of this fun game by my twinner, i would like to recap my highs/low of yesterday... mainly so i can be reminded of all of the highs that were there!

without further ado...

Highs of Tuesday:
- got to sleep in later than normal
-woke up to lil' myla curled up right next to me in a little ball. adorable!
- finally had appointment with orthopedic doc and got some information about my choices regarding my foot
- had a great talk with mom about the doc, and felt her support of either option
- got to work from the space! always fun
-mark pergola just gets listed as a high in and of himself. he's the best to work with.
- laughter meditation: how often are you 'forced' to laugh for three minutes straight at work!? which, btw, is a great ab workout
- tried my first falafal sandwich- YUM!
- actually got some work done
- speaking of work, a high is definitely that i have not ONE job, but THREE
- a coworker reached out to me with some hard news, and some GREAT news! i love being trusted and being able to share these real-life things with people.
- got to leave ealy-ish from work
- had a chance to talk to a new potential client, and showcase my wisdom and experience in the counseling field (which may not be much but i made it sound GOOD). it was a true professional moment for me.
- drove by carenet and did NOT have to go in to see any SOs. HOORAY!
- had a great talk with susan, actually calling to reach out to her about my bad attitude
- good workout- stairclimbed and abs
- talked to friend travis at the gym. always a high to feel liked in a sea of weight-lifting strangers.
- walked the dogs, and it wasn't that cold!
- had a great talk with my sis, also reaching out to her and felt supported by her perspective
- had a great laugh with my sis- kid squid and ya, i KNOW i'm not even TIRED!
- found an old but wonderful chocolate sugar cookie recipe
- finished ALL my baking for my treat bags and now just have to frost!
- found Lost season 5 on Hulu! YAYAYAYAYAY!!!
- received new duvet cover in the mail, and cannot WAIT to put it on my bed!
- went to bed at a reasonable hour
- the dogs did NOT SLEEP ON MY BED! HALELUJUAH! it really is the high of today so far too, but there is nothing like having a queen bed to your WHOLE self. ah, heaven.

all of those highs make the one low pale in comparison...

i am continually blessed beyond measure.
