the good stuff

After a week filled with a string of setbacks and one major disaster averted (thankfully!), I am settling in to finish several pieces for next week on this gray day feeling more than a little tired but grateful, thinking of the good things in life and things that I like, such as:

• the sound of the needle on a record as it starts to play, that crackle and hiss
• the tufted titmouse that comes to our humble little birdfeeder every morning
  
• having the opportunity to start and almost finish the latest Murakami novel while waiting to see the doctor
  
• a room filled with books with funky wallpaper peeking through here and there like this gorgeous room here
• the potential in stacks of new fabric
• the crisp smell of autumn in the air
• big full cups of Cafe Bustelo

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!
