Gratituesday 2.13.18 - Laissez les Bons Temps Rouler

I started the day thinking it was National Pancake Day! So, I planned to take myself out to breakfast, only to discover that the day is not celebrated until March! But I failed to realize that it was Mardi Gras. Laissez les Bons Temps Rouler, y'all! Let the good times roll!

So in between getting my hair cut and meeting with a new wedding couple, I thought I would be able to find a place for king cake, or shrimp étouffée or even a Hurricane! But alas, it was too cold to walk all the way to 9th Ave. so I stopped in at a busy place by Bryant Park and bellied up to the bar for a glass of wine and some appetizers. The intention was there all the same. A bit of celebration and fun on a Tuesday. And I have not been good about taking myself on Artist Dates as part of the Artist's Way, so it was double duty! It's been a good week. So without further ado, here are my Weekly Lists!

GRATITUDES

1. Hot coffee & sunshine

2. Not seeing a mouse in over a week

3. A strong counseling practice this month, which is usually a slow time for me.

4. A pet store that offers free delivery.

5. Free haircuts through Salon Apprentice - and today's was especially good!

CELEBRATIONS

1. The return to daily Spanish lessons. I'm currently on a 5 day streak on Duolingo!

2. Sending out my first newsletter of 2018

3. Keeping up with The Artists Way

4. Get this...keeping my kitchen sink CLEAN! Woot!

5. Finding a restaurant that makes a great burrito in walking distance to my apartment.

DESIRES

1. A home I love

2. Energy to go grocery shopping

3. Planning a 2018 trip

4. A date

5. Expanding my social circle

That's it folks, nice and easy! Feel free to comment and support me below. Or if you are so inclined, please add some of your own Gratitudes, Celebrations and Desires, too. Here's to a fulfilling week and a Holy Lent if you practice.
