this week was good because of...

...time spent with family and friends over the Thanksgiving break.

...visiting Shaker Village even briefly for some holiday photos with Wildcat Guy's family.

...my successful first attempt at cooking a turkey breast.

...early dismissal from work on Wednesday.

...the extra time I had on Wednesday evening as a result, which meant I could watch a favorite movie on Netflix.

...the beautiful sunsets we saw while traveling.

...this lovely quote by John Kralik - "Gratitude is a pathway to the peace that we all seek in life."

...truly lovely conversations about the future.

...travels that were safe (even though they were often slow, as well).

...fun projects at work.

...laughing and playing with Faithful Blonde's two children.

...continuing to find ways to eat more healthily. (What?! Sloppy joe sweet potato fries are healthier than sloppy joes on a bun, right?)

...the National Dog Show.

...the unfortunate news that Girl Scout cookies will be sold online this year.

What made your week good?
