Seeing my children off, pressed, fresh clean faces... tight braids.... to school on time, work completed with happy shiney faces so glad to be where they are.... maybe a big dead interesting bug, in a jar for sharing day, in hand.

Snuggling my youngest in the morning before dropping her off to school..... sharing a chocolate biscotti dipped in latte.

Chasing and tickling hearing them laugh.

Snuggling into clear sheets with girls and talking about the best part of their day..... the worste part of their day.

Snuggling them in the morning.... before they wake up.... smelling their clean hair and cheeks.

Taking them out for a Japanese dinner at Kobe Steakhouse.... they really enjoy that and we're going soon with Auntie P.

Seeing my old roomate.... we're having dinner Friday night. 

Singing with the girls..... listening to 7yo play piano.

Going to a friend's house and eating yummy mommy food, I didn't have to cook myself: )

Laughing over old stories..... laughing over new stories.

Having toilet paper dispensers hung in a way that you don't have to stand on your head to dispense the paper.

Having the toilet paper roll dispensers manage to stay on the wall through an entire potty episode. 

Two of ours keep falling apart when we touch them.   I finally put one in a drawer till I can find the little wrench to fix it: /

My lean, mean, fat reducing grilling machine.  George Foreman

I found it at the thrift store for five bucks.  Figured I didn't have much to lose.  I never knew they were such awesome kitchen appliances.  I've turned into a grillin fool!

We grill panini samiches pretty often..... not the GF grill though.

Sometimes I grill up mushrooms for the samiches first.

They're so crunchy munchy nice with turkey, cheese, spinach, horseradish mustard, mayo and caramelized mushrooms.  Not that regular mushrooms aren't nice too.

Seeing how a breeze can play with a small portion of a tree, while no signs of a breeze is displayed on any othe part of the tree.

Seeing a parent look at his child with a tenderness that says, you are my beloved child, and I love you.

1) People who know how to tell me where to get off if I have a lapse in judgment and offend them!

2) A warm comfy bed when it snows.

3)  When my grandchildren tell me they like me.

4)  Meaningful work.

5)  Days without pain.

6)  Being my little dog's helper now that he is a bit feeble.  Sometimes he needs me to leave a light on so he can see and not be afraid. 

7)  Knowing when to keep my mouth shut.

  Remembering that it's not all about me!

9)  Acting out of integrity spontaneously.
