This last year has really given me the opportunity to do some soul searching; to really dig deep and find things that bring out the happiness. The things that really matter in life, not what I originally thought in the beginning... I've discovered that there is so much out there, I just had to open my eyes, and my heart to it all. This is some of what I have come up with so far..my list grows everyday. Please add yours to the thread...
.. that getting a slobbery sticky kiss from my baby girl is one of my most cherished moments
.. watching her play with her daddy, hearing them laugh together from the next room as he plays the guitar for her and sings her Treehouse songs
.. the smell of steak grilling on the BBQ
.. cuddling at night in bed with the one I love, when everything is quite and all I can hear is his breathing and his heartbeating against my ear
.. walking the beach picking up driftwood, shells and beach glass for my collection
.. that I don't need Manolo's or Prada or Gucci anymore to make me feel good, I'm happy without designer shoes
.. looking at the first picture my baby girl ever coloured hanging on my wall as I have it framed..she was so happy that day
.. remembering my first real kiss
.. one of my dogs running behind my baby and sneaking kisses from her hand
.. the smell of the linens when you bring them in off the line
.. that I don't care anymore if I have cheezy powder on my sweater and don't notice it till I get home
.. that I never feel alone anymore, and that in a short time, I won't be
.. seeing my daughters eyes after she was born, her first steps, the first time she laughed and called for me
.. that most of the plants and trees we planted last year actually survived the winter!
.. that my parents are healthy
.. when I close my eyes I can feel the presence of my Nana, like a guardian angel
.. how excited my little girl is over her fish tank
.. how little money I have these days, and I've never been happier
.. that I've stopped beating myself up and blaming myself for others people's issues
.. watching my dogs chase eachother and play
.. having a bonfire at night, roasting marshmallows and looking at the stars
.. I'm happy without wearing designer clothing and purses, Old Navy and JCrew are just as good and way more practical for my lifestyle
.. how happy I am just to hold his hand
.. the smell of the fresh air where I live, the birds and the sounds of the frogs at night
.. lying on the bottom of the ocean floor looking at the sealife around you and the sun streaming through the water when you're scuba diving
.. the sound of the waves against the rocks and the smell of the air
.. how my daughter loves the water; how she plays in it no matter how cold it is
.. the sound of my dads laugh, it really is quite unique
.. how one little word from my love can erase any sadness I may be feeling
.. how much I love my little house, how warm and inviting it is
and the list goes on an on...
