Focusing on Sparkles

Something on Facebook this morning triggered a full-blown case of the panics (dang anxiety....), so I've spent my day working hard to focus on sparkles. Here are a few of them:

• A decent night's sleep.
• Soft clothes! (And matching socks.)
• A long walk in the wintry wind.
• Wispy clouds across a robin's-egg sky.
• Hearing the mailman at my front door.
• A postcard from a dear friend.
• Cat on my lap, cockatiel at my shoulder, and a sleepy rattie in my pocket.
• Twilight shadows in a silent house....
• The hum of the fridge and the rhythm of the faux firelog.
• Mac-and-cheese thoughts of tonight's supper....
• The liquid jade color and sweet seafoam taste of my cup of matcha tea latte.
• Typing to YOU.

Love you, my friend. I hope your day has sparkles in it, too.
