Everything is tickety-boo

It's that time of the week again: time for my list of things that I am grateful for that make everything seem tickety-boo:

• seeing a colorful hot air balloon fly overhead.  It's funny that such a sight is so calming - yet when you are in the balloon - it's not really calm at all - it's exciting and exhilarating!
• mothers - and not JUST because it's Mother's Day in the US today!
• our first outdoor swim of the year
• John, my hubby, who's birthday it was on Thursday
• hiking by the ocean
• having the support, encouragement and enthusiasm of a friend who is helping me find venues for my classes
• getting excited about family visiting soon - little Baby Max!

• receiving such delightful emails from a new jewelry customer
• buying and planting new veggies for the raised beds
