What I'm Loving Wednesday

The weather is dreary and cold. Half-frozen precipitation is falling outside, and there's a 50 percent chance of snow by the end of the day.  We've had such a mild winter up until about a week ago.  I guess Mother Nature wants to make one last statement before she gives us Spring.  But come on, warmer temps.

Anyhow, I'm not going to let the weather get me down.  It is Wednesday, which means we're halfway to the weekend!! And it's also time to link up with Jamie!

I'm loving ...

... the "Take On the World" playlist I made on Spotify.

It's full of songs that are empowering and a few that just make me smile and feel good.

It's come in handy this week.

Feel free to subscribe if you like it too.

... the fact that I am halfway to my weight-loss goal.

I know there is still a battle ahead, but I'm love how I'm feeling.

... blood orange Chobani yogurt.

It's one of four new flavors they released recently, and it's becoming my favorite.

So good.

... friends who encourage my crazy dreams.

Over the weekend, we were discussing what would be on the soundtrack for the movie that my current novel would become.

It's completely unrealistic, but so fun to think about.

... that some friends are seeing their childhood dreams come true.

I'm so thrilled that Jacob is finally getting to be a full-time firefighter.

... the fact that the Buena Vista men's basketball team is playing in the DIII NCAA Tournament.

They take on top-seeded Washington University (St. Louis) on Friday night.

So excited for them.

... that today is Leap Day.  

There's nothing special about it for me.

But it's still fun that it only occurs every four years.

... that two weeks from today, I will be leaving for Arizona for Rangers baseball and fun with some of my favorite people.

I absolutely cannot wait.

What are you loving this week?
