how liv held me accountable

"make a little bliss list," she said. huh? what's that? i've been so preoccupied with trying to whittle down my rapidly growing non-bliss list that i had paid virtually no attention to the good. but there were plenty of lovely moments this week -- some fleeting, some enduring -- and here they are.
 
i wore my favorite ring by mirthmarket.

 
yesterday was mix or match day at school. my girl went for the mix.

 
i found the only fresh market in new jersey. but it doesn't carry wine. scratch that second part -- that goes on my non-bliss list.

 
these are doormats that understand me.

 
i found the celery farm nature preserve. there is no celery and there is no farm. just a lot of nature in the middle of urban mania.

 
indian food always makes me happy.

 
a kind soul knew that these kinds of lights should be left up all year round.

 
i watched my little one play with her train on the magic carpet.

 
and i started on the next magic carpet. anyone who needs immediate therapy should pick up a crochet hook; the tension just melts away. this one has kind of an 80s modern look. it started from a pair of ripped pants.


my kids' artwork. i want to hop on that sky pencil.

and that's not all.

i ran into my new friend beth at the gas station yesterday while refueling for an escape to jerry's artist outlet in west orange. we made a coffee date & off i went. 

then i loaded up with art supplies.

panera lemonade kicks ass.

someone asked me for directions and i was able to give them, successfully and correctly. i guess that means i'm a local now.

my daughter found $20 on the playground and turned it into her teacher. i was so proud of her.

on a few occasions when i could have completely freaked out, i listened to benny hill and spanish flea and burst out laughing instead.

oh, there were so many things. thanks liv. i can post this with a smile. if you want to share your own little bliss list go here. and happy weekend :)
