This morning I woke up smiling. A quiet cup of coffee and a mini banana walnut muffin and things were moving for me in a positive way. I’m not sure why I feel so happy, maybe it was the dream I was having when I awoke at 5:30 AM. Maybe a smiling face at breakfast, a cook, already at work, and handing me a bottle of water. Maybe it was Loved-One pulling me close in the middle of the night. Maybe the higher altitude is lifting my spirits.

So in no particular order:
A road trip with Loved-One: I never get tired of him. I love his sense of humor and the quirky details he points out to me. This afternoon we ate at Rodriquez’s Polar King, authentic Mexican Food. What a funny sign.

Cell phones: Duckie calls me every day, just to check in and tell me how her day went.

Christina: A young trans-country runner I chatted with this morning. She started in New York, and is running to bring attention to families of Navy Seals. She’s going all the way to San Franscisco. Go, Christina, go.br />

My Prius: It’s eleven years old and going strong. We are spending 1/2 the money on gasoline.

Good technical support: My new “Newsletters” plug-in is finally up and running. Thank you tech-support for importing over 1500 subscribers from my old plug-in.

Swimming pools in hotels: I love an early morning swim.

Mountains: So beautiful. I always wonder if people living near mountains take them for granted and bustle by without a second thought. I hope not.

WiFi: Need I say more?
