Gratefully Cocooning

Yikes! It's been a whole week since my last posting. I have to confess that I've been cocooning. I'm on Spring Break and, as I wrote to a friend recently, it's been less "Girls Gone Wild" and more like "Girl's Gone and Caught Up On her Sleep."

Because I'm exciting like that :-P

Mostly, though, I've been getting back to "grateful." Sometimes, it's so easy to forget how blessed we are-- the everyday becomes mundane and we're always in 'striving' or 'procrastinating' or 'whining' mode instead of appreciating just where we're at.

Lately, I'm grateful for the time to reflect and catch up on personal projects: organizing finances/files, dreaming, walking/going to the gym, writing, reading, cooking and spending time with friends. I'm even hoping to get the spring cleaning that I mentioned in my last blog done before Passover. Heh.

I'm also grateful for the couple neat-o life experiences that happened this past week: I went to my first Purim celebration(kinda like Jewish Halloween, but more meaningful). I heard the Meghilla, I watched a schpiel, I danced the hora, I had hamentachen and I chatted with a little old lady who spit kugel all over me. Yay!

I was excused from jury duty. Yay! Yay!

My friend just launched his business website that I've helped out with and it is already becoming successful. Woo-hoo!!

I have little baby birds nested in my air duct that chirp me awake in the morning. ???

Life is good :-)
