1. My football (soccer) team earns a reprieve when the teams chasing them in the league draw and lose their respective matches. Huge sighs of relief all around. But no more screw-ups please!
2. I get an email letting me know that I've received a service award. It's a little unexpected - I knew I'd been nominated but didn't think top management would approve - but very welcome. I've been feeling unappreciated lately and this is a wonderful boost.
3. It's raining when I step out of the house to get to work, but wonder of wonders I manage to flag down a cab within 5 mins. It doesn't matter that he's unfamiliar with the route - he gets me to work on time.

Relief, a sale and old friends
It's been terribly silent here lately. But I'll try to rectify that as best I can. Several things have happened lately for which I'm thankful, so in no particular here's my 3BT - for the past month.
1. My MRI results came back clear. To say I'm relieved is an understatement. I'm trying hard to manage my migraines better.
2. I had my very first online sale on Etsy - which is an online marketplace for handmade/handcrafted goods - which totally made my day. Week. Month. Really.
3. Re-connecting with an old friend who's back here after being in the US for years has been wonderful. There's nothing like reminiscing over the good ol' days with someone who's known you for over 20 years.

Saturday, new books and a follower
1. Saturday is spent having lunch with a good friend and catching up on all the news. There's even time to pop into the book store and also go grocery shopping.
2. Thanks to some good discounts, three new books sit on my shelf waiting to be read.
3. I get on the computer and find that this 3BT blog of mine has gained its very first follower. I'm surprised, touched and ecstatic all at once. Thank you Cathie!

Fitflops, tea and a foot massage
1. I finally succumb and get myself a pair of Fitflops. They're uber comfortable.
2. A lazy afternoon is spent having tea at a friend's newly-renovated home. No scones or cake but there's dim sum instead. And fruit salad and raspberry sorbet. And of course, tea.
3. There's time for a foot reflexology massage. After the pain comes immense relief.

An email, a free afternoon and a Feb meeting
1. I receive an email informing me that I've fulfilled all the requirements of the certification course I enrolled in back in late 2010. To say I'm relieved and thankful would be an understatement. There's a smidgen of pride too that I've managed to complete the course.
2. I take the afternoon off from work. There's time to visit my homeopathic practitioner, go grocery shopping and make a pot of vegetable soup for dinner.
3. A friend calls and offers to arrange for a gathering in mid-Feb. It'll be nice to meet and catch up with everyone.

Surprises, good news and a gathering
1. I get a pleasant surprise when I check the mail. Two surprises actually. A friend many miles away has sent a card wishing me a Happy 2012. Another friend has sent a book written by a former mutual schoolmate. Love.
2. A letter from the hospital delivers some good news. I haven't said much but I have been going out of my mind with worry this past month. I'm not entirely out of the woods yet - there are a couple more health appointments to go - but I can feel a fair bit of the anxiety and worry unravelling and fading away.
3. I get an invitation on Facebook to attend a gathering of old schoolfriends in a few weeks. I've mentioned it before - it's nice to be remembered by others.

Experimenting, Glee and a phone call
1. There's time this afternoon to make some jewellery. I experiment with some resin I've had on hand for a long while. Two rings and three pendants now sit under a cover waiting for the resin to cure.
2. I catch up on episodes of Glee and spend two hours singing along to the songs.
3. The phone rings and it's a dear friend calling all the way from Paris. We share a happy hour catching up with each other.
P.S. Happy New Year everyone! I'd like to wish us all peace, joy and health in 2012.
