I am not very hard to please…I can live for months off the joy that one perfect day brings me. When things aren’t going so well, I think back on something that makes me smile. These are things that get me through the day when I would really just like to curl up into a ball in the corner and pretend its all just a dream…
1. Snuggling with my little Bailey and petting his soft fur
2. Sitting on the porch at the mountain house in NC, watching fire flies light up the dusky sky
3. Watching my husband smile so big that his dimples show
4. Discovering new cities in the company of good friends
5. When my daughter comes to snuggle up to me on the couch, even though she’s as big as I am
6. Baking the perfect molten chocolate lava cake
7. Pistachio-Almond ice cream in a waffle cone
8. When people tell me that my daughter looks just like me – even though she’s the spitting image of her dad
9. Seeing the look on my dad’s face every time he comes over to my house – the one he grew up in – and tells me how nice it looks
10. Waking up in a home I love, surrounded by people and pets that love me just as much as I love them
