I have seen a few people make top ten lists, top three lists or top five lists in the challenge so far this year. I am inspired to try one of my own. Today, I think I'd like to write about some of my feel good favorites.
Five things that made me smile this week:
1. When my daughter came home to visit (even though her apartment is only a half mile from our house) and the first thing she did was wrap her arms around my neck...just like she did as a little ringlet-haired girl and said "Hi Mom!"
2. Listening to my children laugh and tease each other. Hearing them get along and enjoy each other's company is one of the great joys of being a parent.
3. When my dogs come snuggle up to me on the couch just to get in a couple extra belly rubs for the evening.
4. The sweetness of a former student running over everyday to give me a hug before he goes home in the afternoon. He always tells me he had a great day at school and after some days, I sure need a dose of that enthusiasm.
5. Sunshine. It's so good to see her again after a long, cold, snowy winter.

ReplyDeleteYes to all! Especially the hugs and the sunshine.
You capture these simple grateful moments so well, and with earnest. It's clear to the reader you truly appreciate these moments. Beautiful moments, too!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a joyful list. I think my favorite is the first. Those moments are priceless.
