Simple Pleasures

Here are a few of my favorite things and activities:

* the laptop I'm clicking away on right now

* making jewelry with Lisa

* talking on the phone with Karen

* fuji apple salad with Gibbs

* hanging out with Heather and snuggling with Graeme

* my daughter, not only when we are shopping together, but also when we are just hanging out here at home

* the way my husband still makes me laugh

* camisoles with skirts and loose-fitting cardigans

* the sound of my children talking, laughing, and listening to music together

* playing with my dog

* the gentle hands of my physical therapist as she loosens the skin around and under my surgery scars

* photobombing my son at Target

* not having to wear bras anymore

* family trips to Target and Trader Joe's

* decaf green kombucha tea

* a summer dress worn with espadrilles

* time spent on Pinterest looking at "travel wardrobe capsules" - who knew you could make over 100 outfits with only 10 or 12 garments???

* a good night's sleep

* clean laundry

* housesitting and dogsitting at a spectacular house on Lake Norman


* Wrangler, the Portuguese water dog in the picture, who head-butted me just as I took the photo (hence the closed right eye)

* lying in bed in the middle of the afternoon

* having dinner brought to me in bed at the end of the afternoon

* maxi dresses

* homemade cole slaw

* the television show, "Modern Family"


* hair!!!! I love how short it is and how easy it is to take care of

* never having to use rollers again

* texting late at night

* enjoying church again

* the e-class I'm taking at the moment: The Story of You

* the movie "Hope Springs"

* laughter

* having a life with so many simple and wonderfully light-hearted pleasures

******** I am grateful, so very grateful*********

Hanging out with YOU is one my favorite things. Your beautiful spirit and laugh are a must for me (in person!) very often.
