Little thanksgivings.

Counting my blessings today.

• My new yoga/pilates class. I need those few moments at the end of class where we just lie there. There are always people that get up and leave before the meditation and I always think, "why are they rushing off?" Those few beautiful moments of stillness fill me up until the next class. Don't miss out on those moments of stillness.

• Simon placing rocks in "tall grass." Simon blowing bubbles on his own (this is huge for him).

• Watching him get so excited over his new Fireman outfit - thanks Deb. He totally wanted to wear it all night. Especially while he was blowing bubbles.

• Peeking in on him at school today. Seeing him sitting at the table with the other little kids eating his lunch. Witnessing such a calm, peaceful, organized environment. Watching his lead teacher interact with him meaningfully and him responding appropriately.

• Had one of those moments last night when we caught him in his element: he had put on Mr. Potoato Head's glasses and was reading The Very Hunrgy Caterpillar to himself (he has the entire thing memorized). I just about pushed Chris off his chair when I saw that he had those glasses on - such a very cool dude.

• Your awesome excitement over the new book. Thank you. A million times.

• My sweet friend Karen Russell's fundraiser for Women to Women International. Check it out here. A $1 donation gets your name into drawings for tons (and I mean TONS) of cool stuff - there are going to be over 135 winners.

• And speaking of Karen, she is one of my favorite product designers. I just got some new pieces from her most recent line from Creative Imaginations - check this cool stuff out:

I am so loving the colors, the type, etc. Such a great combination of design elements.

• This morning I had an interview with a local TV station (KVAL - I will let you locals know when it is going to air) talking about what I do, life artists, etc. In preparation I pulled out some of my albums to show. It was so cool to look back through them. I have not done that in a long time. I am more the kind of person who creates and then puts it away - moving on to the next. But it was nice to see what I have done in the past - be reunited with it, see what I love, see what I wish I had more of the story on, etc.

• The weather here is awesome. Supposed to be in the 70's today. Just perfect.

• And take a look at this:
