+ a safe home.
+ great family and friends.
+ a funny, appreciative and understanding partner that is my husband.
+ good food and still abundant natural resources.

+ the impending arrival of fall to save me from the summer heat.
+ creative moments and inspiration from other bloggers, people on the streets and from little daily details.
+ the ladybug that came to visit me in the kitchen one night.
