Amy Krouse Rosenthal died last Monday at the age of 51 and her death was a punch to my gut and to my head and to my heart, so I did a little bit of this:
Ah, but then I grabbed a few of these:
And then I made this list:
This was one of my favorite moments of the week:
It’s the first time both dogs napped lion and lamblike on my leg. Jeff on guitar and Chris Hayes on the television? Bonus.
This was the best sentence I read on Wednesday:
This:

I keep a gratitude journal and try to capture daily three things I am grateful for (in bullet form) (big fan of bullet points). In-gratitude (to put it lightly) has begun to occasionally creep in and I have made my peace with it — it is life and I think there is room for it, even in a gratitude journal. It deserves documentation. However, your beautiful list of things that make you feel alive is wonderful and I think will find a home (in my own words) (bulleted, of course) on the inside covers of my journal. Thank you for that. I love your creativity and optimism. xo
You are lovely and I have always enjoyed reading your blog! I loved today’s entry. I have recently started my own “happy” list. :)
Have a lovely day!
