The simple things in life.

Looking at your phone to see your favorite number THREE times.

Having a boss ask if you would like a pizza for lunch.

Breathing in cold air after what feels like an entire year of summer.

Talking to a granddaughter on the phone and hearing another in the background say she loves Ama so much.

Feeling excitement about new adventures on the calendar.

Taking your place in stall #3 and minding your own business, only to find a visitor the size of your hand who decided to share space, and a co-worker names her Lucy Long Legs.

The smell of wet leaves and hearing them crunch under foot as you walk.

Soft cat fur between your fingers and the feel of a purr.

Friend hugs on Thursday night piano and bingo.

Having the best Dad. And having a Dad who is so very thoughtful and realizing he is loved by everyone who knows him.

Reading a reallllly good book.

Going back to the cancer center for the regular 4 month CT scan and follow-up, always with a little trepidation and bizarre “out of body” feeling that we’ve been here before but we no longer belong…only to hear that the scans are completely clear once again, and Sam is coming up on TWO YEARS post chemo.

…He surrounds me with loving-kindness and tender mercies. He fills my life with good things! – Psalm 103: 4-5, TLB
