this week was good because of...

...a lovely day at the Cincinnati Zoo.

...designing and doing decorations for our department's end-of-year banquet.

...being comforted, cuddled and spoiled while I'm sick.



...a delicious, colorful blend of veggies for lunch.

...honest, candid conversation about challenges and opportunities for a Board I sit on.



...a beautiful sunset.

...finally seeing a well-done, visually-stunning movie.

...spending a weekend together.



...strawberries that taste like Sour Patch Kids.

...finalizing travel plans for the summer (including a cat-sitter).

...visiting the farmers market for the first time this season.



...adding a new favorite picture to my bulletin board at work.

...another evening with some of Wildcat Guy's family - and feeling like it fits.



...another sweet bouquet of flowers from Wildcat Guy - just because.

...the joy and laughter of spending time with a friend's 2 children.

...a fantastic sermon at church about handling conflict healthily in a relationship.

Funny. This week felt stressful and hectic; but looking over this list, I'm reminded of the many, many blessings it included.

What made your week good?
