-spending a night at my parents, eating popcorn and watching "The Middle." That show is too funny (and the middle child is way too much like me at that age! Braces on her teeth, nerdy, and dramatic!)
-laughing with each other at work when the stress levels start to rise.
-finding a bloom on the clematis vine during the month that my grandma died five years ago (one of her favorite flowers!)
-singing way too loud with A. and the radio on a late-night drive back from our Wisconsin trip.
-with the sentimental comfort and joy of a Christmas fiction novella.
-watching little nephew L. walk around with a grin on his face and my (knockoff) Ugg boots on his feet
-having a truly understanding sister-heart on the other end of the phone line when I needed someone to
-working out with my girlfriends on Monday nights, laughing and whining and sweating and talking all at the same time.
-remembering how rewarding it sometimes feels to get down on your hands and knees and mop a floor (but that feeling will last awhile; no desire to mop again anytime soon).
-beginning a new year in the Church as the Advent season arrives. Preparing, worshipping, believing, and hoping with the other members of the Body.
-counting the haves when I’m tempted to count the have-nots. Choosing to trust in the unseen and knowing that He sees all.
