... Waking up and finding Shade sleeping beside me
... When ever hubby smiles at me, he has this 'look'

... When I read replies to my posts
Small things in life make me

... Having any of my 4 girls on my lap
... Seeing Merri N Pippin for the first time in a couple months yesterday... They were all over me, smelling, snuggling. Pippin wanted me to pet him, and pet him, and pet him, while Merri smelled, and rubbed on me. She really didn't want me to pet her, but just sit by me. That made me feel REALLY loved and happy
They remembered me after all this time. And I am sure the fact that I smelled of their mom and sister helped

-When I'm laying in bed in the mornings and David is up making coffee and I hear him and the cat chatting together.

-When David doesn't think I'm looking and he gives the cat kisses.

Great idea, Michele!

Waking up at the usual time, and realizing I don't have to get up right away, but can sleep in.
Sunshine in December, and having the time to take a long walk in it.
Curling up with a good book, with Jamie lying on top of me and purring.
When hubby surprises me with something small, but that I've been looking for for a while, like a little holder for bird feed balls.

When I'm engrossed in something, and feel Rob's hand start to scratch my back

A companionable kitty sleeping next to me as I type

A different companionable kitty herding me to a favourite lap/cuddle place

Licks from Sooz - who is not demonstrative at all

When I've had a tough day, and Rob says, unprompted, "Should I be taking you out to dinner?"

The friendship and compassion on this site.

I'll probably think of more, but for now that's it. Thanks, Michele.

There are so many things.

- A pretty sunrise or sunset.

- The way the air smells after it rains

- The smell of the air in the fall

- Crawling into the tub full of bubbles when you've had a long day

- Getting the kitten out of the tub so I can fill the tub with bubbles

- Turquoise blue water and sugar white sand

- Snuggled in a blanket watching an old movie on a snowy day.

- Walking around and looking at my flowers in the summer

Thanks, Michele.
No problem....I needed this very much today. And reading through these things just makes my soul relax.

The little things - those things which we don't often pay too much attention to but which light our life up - it's important to remember them and to think of them.

Keep it going, guys!

Best-
Michele

michael reading me poetry
sitting by the creek journaling
the smell of a fresh baked loaf of bread
an email from my dad
the feel of mike's chin the first time he ever shaved his beard off (it's back now)
rocking my grandaughter to sleep
walking up to the waterfall and standing underneath it

Looking around my apartment, the furniture, fridge full, the kitkats and Brandon, and knowing I am lucky to have it~

Smaller things
-Seeing kids playing happy and safe at the park
-Of course my kittie's purrs
