It’s been a while since I’ve done a Wednesday list. Today, I’m thinking about all the good things that are going on in my world.
- When I woke up this morning, I read a beautiful post by a former classmate whose blog has become a regular read for me. Her thoughts on the ability to course correct were timely for me.
- I’m wearing pants I bought this weekend from REI when my friend Rey was in town. We went shopping because the pants I was wearing were so loose I could pull them down even when they were buttoned and zipped.
- When I walked out of the house this morning, I saw that a package from Tusker Trail sat on my porch. The package is paperwork and information for my Kilimanjaro trip.
- I had coffee this morning with a dear childhood friend who moved to my little town last summer.
- At coffee, one of the first things out of my friend’s mouth was, “You look like you’ve lost weight.”
- I had a fun brainstorming session this morning with a lawyer who has given me a ton of work during the last year and whose support made it possible for me to spend extended time in Portland last summer.
- Erin and I made plans to attend a Pose clinic on Monday night. I’ll get to refresh what I learned earlier this year about running form.
- My big boss (the man I’ve worked for most of my adult life) told me today that I’m getting too skinny.
- Marion Winik will be at Book People tonight, and I’m going. I’ve loved her writing since the early 1990s when her work appeared in the Austin Chronicle.
- In one week, I’ll be on my way to England and Germany for a family reunion. I’ll be hanging out with uncles, aunts and cousins, some of whom I’ve never even met.
It’s not all sunshine and roses in my world, but I shouldn’t complain. I’m very lucky, and I’m starting once again to be hopeful about what’s to come.
When are you going to Kilimanjaro? Matt and I climbed it when we were just dating, a thousand years ago in 1998, and it remains one of my favorite experiences, EVER. Wonderful!!
Lindsey, I leave December 28. It seems like my friends who have done it consistently say that it’s a favorite experience. I’m incredibly excited.
