this week was good because of...

...breakfast in bed with my love for no other reason than "just because."

...staying focused and motivated with a work schedule that is still very much self-created.

...this thought: "There is no biblical basis to indicate that God has one soul mate for you to find and marry. You could have a great marriage with any number of compatible people. There is no ONE PERSON for you." The author's subsequent comments about making a decision - every day! - to love her husband were good for me to hear, especially this week.

...perfect weather and an intriguing book for a Sunday afternoon at the pool.

...a much-needed adjustment at the chiropractor's office.

...Wildcat Guy asking Gru if he wanted us to make the games cupboard into a private kitty nook. (Gru's response was to quickly back out and walk away.)

...more interesting casting updates from a movie I'm anticipating more and more.

...having everything unpacked and, more importantly, put away!

...working on a puzzle.

...that interesting moment (or moments) when you realize that your initial assessments of new colleagues were spot-on.

...this really funny list about the perks of being in my thirties.

...baking. A bunch of baking. (More on that later this week!)

...a funny but true reflection on the idea of, "what do you do?"

...really cool news about really old shipwrecks.

...the continued parade of sweet kitties napping on our back porch.

...a discussion of the fine line between needy and vulnerable - one that smacked me with its accuracy and candor.

What made your week good?
