her delightful and hilarious texts
being able to pass on a lot of praise for the ballet
how she laughed out loud when they said i was easy going (iykyk)
when you think there is a glorious little lamp in your office but then realize it’s the sun setting
dropping my daughter off off at school 16 minutes before it starts (why hasn’t anyone ever told me how glorious it is to arrive someplace early? just kidding. my husband tells me what a gift that is every single day. i just got to see the benefits for the first time)
how she texted me telling me that i had to go and look at all of the water balloons scattered all over our driveway and street
the miracle of her being healed and her shining happy wonderful passionate face ever before me
hilarious friends
God answering prayers in the most specific of ways
i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again. you know it’s a good day when you can see the beauty in your dirty dishes. (now, to apply this to every messy aspect of my life.)
how she sits at the peninsula to eat her breakfast now
their secret handshake while swimming in the ocean
when the song you’re listening to matches the sounds of the “silent” dishwasher
seeing the cup she placed outside to catch the raindrops
the heavy drops on the skylights while i read
the water in the dog bowl moving around
and watching the light dance on the hanging bath towel
simply magical
