One of those days that this is a good exercise, as it seemed a rather mundane day.

1. North Glenmore Park and THAT HILL - which I made it up, no stopping!

2. Lock-tite stuff, which works so great, I shouldn't have to replace those bolts on DD's bike *ever* again.

3. My iPod with Audiobooks. Makes a walk that much more enticing!

Simply put:

1. Living close enough to ride my bike to many things.

2. An instructor who is making Standard First Aid fun

3. Snuggles from my (not-so-little) girl.

Back from a fantastic weekend away. Here it is:

1. The Rocky Mountains. Thank goodness our province had the wisdom to preserve so much of it in such beautiful parks. This was from the top of my climb (unmarked/unknown trail, started near Galatea creek).

2. Conquering fear (with the help of a good friend). On yesterday's hike through flood damaged K-country we ended up on goat trails and scree, and I managed to get through it - big for me! - and I only did that with my good friend's encouragement.

3. Quiet. The peace and quiet of this evening was so relaxing and welcome after a fun (but busy) weekend.

Stinkin' hot lately. But still positive!

1. 18 year old Highland Park single malt scotch

2. Calgary Public Library's electronic media collection

3. Sleeping in after two tiring days. 7:50 am was a luxury!

Quite the exciting day!

1. Manual transmission in my car. So fun to drive!
2. The energy and enthusiasm of 10 year old girls, especially the 10 we had here today.
3. The breeze - without that I would have stifled today.

Missed a couple days - who knew summer life could be so hectic!

Today I find the positives in:
1. How shiny my hardwood is when it is clean (especially needed after the windstorm last week brought in a veritable truckload of dust)
2. How much more full of life our house is now that our little girl is back from camp!
3. Scoring the perfect amount of grill time for a medium steak. Yum

Happy Anniversary to my DH and Happy Birthday to my DS!

Today's perspective:

1. Mercato's Pizzevino where we had a great birthday dinner for DS.

2. A husband who still brings me flowers, even after 21 years of marriage!

3. My cosy fleece sweats for watching a movie on a chilly Calgary summer evening.
