Of all the thrills. Last night Rosanne Cash performed right here in Prescott Arizona at the renovated historic Elks Theater. Wow. Fantastic personal music, fun, sassy, great.

Earlier in the day, an unexpected opportunity for a quick coffee break arose with a friend just in town for the day, and then dinner with her and another friend worked out later on. Amazing that I could have so much spontaneous fun in one day.
Power babysitting Tessa twice a week gives me the gramma fix I have to have to see things in a fresh way. Dancing and singing and getting the giggles with her for just a half-hour at the end of the week is the best way I know to get back in touch with what matters.
Finally, taking your dog for obedience training has unexpected benefits. Like, it forces you to get up from your desk and get all enthusiastic at various intervals throughout the day. If you’re frowning at your monitor most of the time, this is as good an antidote for your mood and general outlook as it is for your dog’s confidence and responsiveness. If you have a slobber dog, though, it’s best if you have plenty of time to clean up before any client appointments.
