finding summer treasures in winter pockets
early morning snow
color pencils (prismacolor)
scissor glue play
spirit soar to music truths
being loved
being loving


seeing myself through child's eyes
cleaning up a pile of stuff
hand-me-down furniture
(generous in-laws!)
storage boxes
consolidating a mess
husband-provided lunch
finding my "happy self"

a big purple crayon
loud beautiful music
dinner guests
respectful children
homemade soup and bread
Olympic hockey game
inspiring stories
