ah, joy

It's the little things (alright, and occasionally the big ones)...Savor them all

• a dozen mini peanut butter cups & ice cold pepsi
• jeans just out of the dryer (except for the scalding metal button searing my skin...)
• fat fluffy pillows, lots of them, all around me
• new magazine in the mailbox
• kid-just-out-of-the-bathtub smell
• that "I'm still alive & actually having fun!" thrill when the elevator drops on tower of terror
• show tunes, really loud, when I'm alone in the house
• those prosciutto-wrapped almonds & dates at South Park
• fresh & bright Gerber daisies (ask about the amazing Shanghai Westin breakfast room service)
• rollerskating
• the first snowflakes (and my kids' faces at the sight)
• me & Fountains of Wayne, driving around singing at high volume
• leisurely grocery shopping
• reading in bed
• pajamas
• my leather-bound John Keats volume from a used book store (and the unexpected British Library exhibit about him when I was in London!)
• coloring on a rainy day
• rainbows
