Accolades and Affirmations

January 24, 2025

Sometimes, when my mom fits a piece into the jigsaw puzzle we are working on, she taps the table gently and says “Accolades.” She needs an “atta girl” and doesn’t mind asking for it.

I recently passed one of those signs that clocks your speed. You know the ones; they usually flash something like “37,” “37,” “37” when you’re driving in a 35-mph zone. But this one was different. Beneath the speed limit, a glowing flash of “Good Job” was followed by a happy face. I was going 35 in a 35 zone. That silly little affirmation tickled me and made me feel good all the way home.

The Unexpected

This New Year’s Eve turned out to be one of the most memorable nights of my life—I got engaged! It was perfect in so many ways. He had rented an outdoor igloo (for those of you not from colder areas, these are enclosed, heated structures restaurants set up on patios during winter, often with fun themes). Our friends were “supposed” to meet us, but they were conveniently running late, giving him the perfect window to pop the question. And he did—I was completely surprised! Our friends arrived shortly afterward, and we celebrated together.
