My list is so long, I don't even know where to start.  From little things that brighten my day, to the goliath, mega meaningful things that make up our lives. Itsy bitsy, or large and looming, I'm feeling very lucky on many counts.  I think I'll make a little list of some of the things on my mind right now.  

1- I successfully dried hydrangeas for the first time in my life!! Yay!! And they are beautiful, autumn colors that make me smile.

2- I feel better. I've been sooo sick for quit a while and the cure was almost worse that the problem. But I'm on my way back and actually feel almost like  myself again.

3- GRAND FAIRIES. Seriously, what could be better?

4- Well, the whole family does bring me a lot of joy.  And I'm thankful for my husband who brings us all together.

5- My sibling trip to Florida, I'm lucky to have extended family to love and laugh with.

6- Pupeesh!  I am so blessed that Dorothy came back to live with us after her time away with Auntie Beth and Uncle Jeff.  Honey is growing up and becoming a pretty smart dog, and seems to be more gentle with the little dogs now.  Dorothy feels safe in her own home, and I'm happy she is back.

7- Friends- BFFs who always get me and make me laugh.  The buddies down the road that I get together with for a cup of coffee and linger over for hours, and the ones who fly in from afar and gather for a weekend of giggles.

8- Did I mention family? Grown up sons are a very special thing. Ryan has become my right hand man this summer while I was so ill, and Adam can fix anything with a hug or a screw gun.  Plus, he brought a circus full of people to love into my life, he has brought a passel of ladies for us to love and welcome to our hearts.

9- A fireplace to sit next to and read.  We are loving our new room, and the roaring fire with two leather chairs to relax in and warm our toes.

10- Circus tricks and those who do them.  Not only entertaining to watch, but fun to try.  What an exotic and interesting lifestyle my family has taken on.  Yet another reason to love the new room, with the apparatus hanging from the ceiling.  And I've enjoyed trying a sample of them myself.
