more simple (and small) things that make me happy:
- discovering that when my 2-year-old niece B plays wii and sees my mii, she repeats my name: 'amy, amy'
- waking up smiling
- long meandering conversations with a friend
- my nieces wearing the hats and scarves i made them for christmas (in july)
- walking into my favorite thai restaurant on a busy saturday night and being greeted as a friend by all the servers i know
- knowing that saturday will bring family for a week-long thanksgiving visit--yay!
- 'lively discussions' and 'fun exchanges'
- fall in california--it feels a lot like summer, but it's different in little subtle ways
- the anticipation of pumpkin pie and homemade rolls
- having B tell me all about her snack and playing wii and her halloween costume on the phone; hearing her say 'i love you'
- dates that involve wandering through bookstores
- squeezing snapdragons so they snap
I'm glad to see my little family is involved in at least three of those things! I too love squeezing snap dragons!
ReplyDelete...I wandered through Sam Weller's bookstore two days ago.....didn't buy anything but thought of you as I wandered around. THE best part, it was a blustery day and the air was crisp and as I jay-walked across the street my hair blew around in every direction.....I love blustery days.....
