Good Week

Sometimes things go right in life.  When it does, it's good to make a note of it.

A few good things about this week: 

1. Weight: I lost 6.2 pounds – since January 2nd, the day I rejoined WeightWatchers (yet again!) for the millionth time.  But it does work for me, if I just count the damn points and stay focused. 
2. Work: Juggling 8 jobs over 3 clients, accumulating the most billable hours in one week since – I can’t remember how long, maybe never.  Next week promises to be good, too… the projects carry over.
3. Book: A really nice article about ”Snow Day” was published in the Devereux newsletter on the back page!  And a photo of Joey, painting a picture, showed up inside the same publication, too.  When the online-version is up, I will post a link.
4. Family: L & D found the house of their dreams and they made an offer yesterday.  It was accepted and we are going over to see it this afternoon.  I am looking forward to helping them move in and set up.
5. Love: On Friday Joe presented me with a dozen beautiful magenta roses for Valentine’s Day – ahead of time so that I can enjoy them over the weekend.
6. Friends: Great friends are always a gift.
7. Peace of Mind: I stopped over to see Joey, unannounced, and he was calmly sitting at his computer, well-groomed, engaged in an appropriate activity and happy.  This is especially important to me as a parent, to see that things are the same whether I let them know that I am coming over or if I just show up.  Very reassuring.
