Additionally, I was reminded in a phone call with a friend this morning, that every breath, every moment we have on this journey is a gift. This pausing helps me to not take it for granted and to fully live in this amazing, wonderful, sometimes painful and confusing, journey we call life!
- Fresh vegetables, especially free ones from neighbors
- Mike’s ‘sure’ when I ask him to stop by the store on the way home from work for me!
- Mike sitting down and looking at the girl’s projects when they ask him to.
- Ibuprofen
- Weekends
- Rainbows
- Daughters dancing in the rain
- Morgan noticing the sunset tonight & wanting me to pause & see it
- Walks after rain drenched the earth
- The gift of calmness I had dealing with daughter’s attitude
- Joy I find in ‘organizing’
- Half price sonic drinks
- All the tools mike owns
- All the projects he tackles for me!

- Mike changing the rhythms of dancing reflections

- Squeals, smiles & laughter of kids bouncing on tube behind boat
- Longtime friendships
- Worn out feeling from playing hard
- Luxury of ice and simple happiness it brings me
- Smell of aloe nourishing sun kissed skin
