…The hyacinth flowers blooming by the front pond (that make me think of faeries for some reason.)
.
…Snuggling and reading books with Bracken.
.
…Dancing and singing to music in the morning. Helps motivate the cooking, cleaning, and other morning activities.
.
…A sweet thank you card in the mail.
.
…Easiest dinner ever: hardboiled eggs. (We had a late lunch and didn’t have huge appetites, it was the perfect ready-made meal.)
.
…Friends giving us strawberry plants from their farm. The perfect ground cover where we really needed one on a hillside spot (and more strawberries planted here!)
.
…Nettles in our breakfast, thanks to Jeff.
.
…Lunch with friends.
.
…Hanging up some wool wall hangings by our bed that a friend made. Good and happy images to gaze upon before bed.
.
…Seeing Bracken play with a stuffed cat toy that my grandma made me when I was a little girl.
.
…An unexpected opportunity opening up at a good time.
.
…My mom making me laugh so hard (and magically transforming something that was annoying me into something that cracked me up, with her gift of humor.)
.
…E-mail working better after re-starting my computer.
.
…Finding a book I wanted at the library. 
.
…Getting my mom’s Mother’s Day present mailed out just in the nick of time.
.
…Watching Bracken’s joy while being barefoot in the grass.
.
…Tying buttons on cards while chatting with my sister on the phone.
.
…Bracken handing me my shoes and saying “outside mama!” It was a great idea and just what we both needed.
