* Rainshowers likely. I love rain in the summer.
* A little stalk of bamboo growing in a half-pint jam jar on the kitchen table.
* All my fingernails are the same length.
* Started reading the beginning of the work-in-progress. Maybe it doesn’t completely fail.
* Road trip yesterday got us more than half-way through Adam Gidwitz’s “A Tale Dark and Grimm.” Husband asked last night, “How does it end?”
* It’s lawnmowing day (provided I can navigate the rainshowers, which are, as you recall, likely).
* S told me she saw someone reading my book, and she said she liked it.
* There’s a watermelon on the counter. I think there should always be a watermelon on the counter, don’t you?
* Kid 2 said (of her own free will and volition) “I need to practice today.” (*insert angels’ sighs*)
* Poetry is cool, even if I am not entirely cool. Or even if I don’t really get it the first few times through.
* The dishwasher is not currently spewing water over the kitchen floor.
* I have 2 DVDs of North and South, which I have not taken the time to watch yet. Maybe during that rainshower we’ve heard so much about…
* I’m in a collaborative project. Perhaps details will follow.
* Birds. Lots of birds.
* I don’t have any pets, and my house smells like — wait for it — people.
* Between Kid 2’s X-country run this morning and Kid 1’s Shake-making work this evening, I have all my Kids home with me for HOURS today.

on my list:
kids are doing chores voluntarily so they can get to money-earning-extra-jobs. Maybe the long neglected weeding will finally get done.
Oh wait, the fighting has started. That is not on my happy list.

That is a lot to be grateful for. Lots of simple but beautiful things. Some days its easy to focus on the negative, but others all sorts of awesome things await your attention.

I want to be in a collaborative project. And I want it to rain. And I want to listen to a great story on a road trip.

I love the term rainshower. It just makes me happy.
