I love my life because I know humlan and appreciate her for keeping this thread alive.

I love my life because while returning Pop-Pop's slippers at the mall yesterday, with my grocery list in my pocket, and wanting to shop a little, but feeling pulled to get to the food store, then home...I got a call from my oldest son.

"Mom, I'm going to Wegman's. Do you need anything?"

"Oh honey, do you have a pen and paper? Can I give you my list?"

So I read him my list. He shopped. I stayed at the mall and wandered a bit and felt so free.

It's the little things that thrill me.

I also love my life because my daughter and I spent lots of time hanging out together yesterday. We actually went back to the mall and returned her slippers. Then our family had dinner with another family at a Chinese restaurant. When we got home, she and I retreated to the basement and watched a little TV (a show about the couple that had two children and then had sextuplets!)and worked on a jigsaw puzzle.

She's 20, has a boyfriend, etc. so I have to embrace and appreciate these moments.

I love life this morning because we took a break from church and are just hanging out at home with nothing to do for a couple hours, Woohoo. This is rare.
