The Simple, Good Things

Music that makes you want to walk faster

A cold bottle of water on a steamy day

Chewing gum that never loses its flavor and you can crack it really loudly

Having your son tell you that you are the most beautiful girl in the world

Feeling like you are doing something good for your body/health every day

Getting up at 2 a.m. to check the children and sneaking into their rooms, and knowing you are so extremely blessed to have the little munchkins who are not so little any more

IM

Sharing a passion with others

Meeting friends for grandeicednonfatsugarfreevanillalattes

Taking the kids to the pool

Date nights with hubby that go so well they remind you why you got married in the first place -- cuz you have fun together and you LIKE being together

Hating your parents' dog but secretly liking the fact that she wound up sleeping in your bed, under the sheets, flushed right against your legs the whole time they were here


Yoga

Boston cream pie light yogurt with low-fat granola and a diet pepsi for breakfast

Great decorating finds (I've been on a roll!)

Digital cameras so you can take goofy pictures of close-ups of nostrils, eyeballs, tonsils


Target

A Starbucks in Target

Barnes & Nobles

Ditto what I said after I said Target

Books

Money to buy books

Sleeping in and stretching sideways across the bed

Having someone pass by you and you say, "Have a good day," and they smile and say "You too!" and you already know you are having one

Waking up to find a new screen saver on your computer that says your husband loves you, loves your kids

What are some of the simple, good things in your life? I hope you have many!
