Thursday Thirteen - Happy Things...

Things That Make My Heart Sing
(and not in any particular order)

1. Puppy breath

2. The voice of a loved one on the phone

3. Knowing my kids and grandkids are safe and well

4. A Hershey kiss slowly melting on my tongue

5. Going for a walk with hubman and holding hands

6. Being part of a large community choir and singing Handel's Messiah
(the whole thing!)

7. Watching a baby learning to laugh - I dare you not to laugh along!

8. Swimming with wild dolphins in the ocean in Maui

9. Talking a walk by a waterfall in heavily forested woods, full of
ferns and pure oxygenated air

10. Reading a really good book- not enough hours in the day for them all

11. Diving into a pool on a horribly hot day and feeling the rush as the
cold water envelops me

12. Walking on the Sterns Wharf in Santa Barbara on a clear summer's day
and stopping for fresh fish for lunch

13. Looking at the moon shining on the ocean waters in Oahu while
listening to Hawaiian music wafting on the breeze from the hotel

Now, was that saccharine enough? It's so much easier
to be flippant or sarcastic. I'm trying to be a nicer
calmer "Gracie!"
