Thursday Thirteen
There is a blogroll of people who take this thing seriously every Thursday, but I'm not sure I want to commit to that yet.
I do, however, have 13 things to share today....things that have been on my mind this morning.
THIRTEEN SIMPLE COMFORTS I LOVE
1. Waking up in the middle of the night to hear a pouring rain outside my windows. I feel so safe and cozy in my bed.
2. Walking outside to find temperatures much cooler and more appropriate for springtime than they've been lately.
3. The smell of a clean house combined with the scent from open windows, and on top of that, the feel of a breeze blowing through your home, waving the curtains with it.
4. The gumption to make up a batch of lemon cupcakes, and the satisfaction that comes two hours later as they sit, done, on the countertop.
5. The cute little spot on the back of Gardner's neck, a place I nuzzle into when I'm rocking him.
(Dad used to call it "our cute spot.)
6. The feeling of an ice cold Coca-Cola going down on a hot summer day. Ahhh....
7. Being able to let down the windows in your car as you drive along a shady two-lane road this time of year. Not caring what your hair will look like when you reach your destination.
8. The smell of coffee first thing in the morning, its fragrance traveling through the air to your droopy eyelids, its flavor making you smile.
9. The thrill of realizing that you've saved over $20 in one trip to the grocery store just because of the time you took out to cut out coupons that week.
10. Being able to share with others....anything....without expecting something in return.
11. The way your house looks as you approach it in the evenings, dimly lit and inviting.
12. Getting a bouquet of flowers from your husband on a day that was good, not bad...in other words, for no reason at all except to show you he loves you.
13. The safety you feel (and you know they feel) as you tuck your child in at night and turn out the lights. The realization that you have it all....you really do. I know I do.
(Thank You, God, for life's simple pleasures!!)
