10 Things That Made Me Happy This Week // 16 (+ a GIVEAWAY!)

 

1 // Inspiring writing workshops at the Palmer House Hotel this weekend. What’s more inspiring than sitting in an old, creepy basement next to this guy with a supportive and talented group of writers and artists.

2 // Writing a poem that’s been on my mind for… oh, almost a year. Poetry has really been calling out to me these days.

3 // Seeing Little One running and jumping again. She’s been back to her usual activity level for a few weeks, but since she wasn’t at this activity level for almost two months I’m still so grateful when I see her running and jumping.

4 // French historical fiction in book form and on TV.

5 // Dinner with my best friend. It’s our last dinner before she gets married!

6 // Dinner with my parents. They’re the best.

7 // Looking forward to a concert this weekend.

8 // And a concert coming up in May. My fave Harry Connick Jr. is coming to Minneapolis for my birthday! I don’t know how he knew my birthday is coming in May, but somehow he did and he scheduled a concert just a few days before it, so I’m going!

9 // A coworker said she wants talk about writing sometime. Writing is one of my favorite things to talk about and just the idea of having someone to talk to about it makes me happy.

10 // Listening to an AMAZING audiobook! I can’t wait to talk about it here when I’m finished!
