It's the little things...

It's the little things...  This is my new insight about happiness, fun, and play.  Developing new friendships, and flirting.  Continuing an almost three-year daily email conversation with a loved one.  A piece of music that makes you stop what you're doing and daydream.  Bantering back and forth with a Scrabble partner.  The sight of your daughter dancing to pop songs and seeing what a lovely and vibrant young woman she's becoming.  Soaking in the creativity and liveliness that your son expresses.  The anticipation of good friends coming to visit.  Being in "the zone" as you try new ski techniques that a friend has taken the time to share with you.  Reconnecting with an old friend that you thought you were growing away from.  Being alone in your house for the entire weekend and you start to go a little batty and take pictures of your feet in various settings.  So many blessings.  This is what keeps me going... what makes it all not so mundane and makes life worthwhile.
