Moments

I have been feeling extremely blessed lately and so proud of my accomplishments thus far in my life. It's very interesting to stop and think and take a long, hard look at your life...more specifically the actual moments in our lives. Sure, the most profound moments (at least for me) are college graduation and the day I got married and eventually the births of my children. However, I'm referring to the small moments that we take for granted, the moments that give us an extra spring in our step, the moments that make our hearts sing!

These are a few of the moments that give me happiness, enjoyment and simply leave me in good spirit...

~When my husband tells me he loves me
~When my parents tell me they are proud of me
~When someone tells me I have pretty handwriting
~When I get a text message
~When the Christmas holiday season approaches
~When I find a long lost friend on Facebook
~When I make a new friend through my blog
~When I find money in my purse that I forgot I had
~When I find a great deal on e-bay
~The first bite of an ice cream cone
~When someone tells me I've made a difference in their lives
~When my husband says "Mmmm" to my cooking
~When I see my Mom or Dad after not seeing them for awhile
~When I have a dream about my grandmother
~When I have a really good hair day
~When I find something vintage or a fabulous antique
~When someone asks me about college when I'm wearing a Baylor sweatshirt
~Having a lazy Sunday
~When someone asks me what perfume I am wearing
~Looking through old photo albums
~Finishing a good book
~When I look at my husband across the room and we smile at each other


I look forward to many more special moments that touch my heart; for, it's those precious times of significance that make our lives worthwhile. It is amazing where we've been, where we are and where we will go.

Thank you for reminding me to be thankful of the little things in life, it is amazing how easy you can take the people you love and who love you for granted. I have so many things in my life to be thankful for, a warm home in this cold winter, a loving and supportive husband, 3 beautiful and healthy children, meeting new friends like you. Have a wonderful day and I pray that you life is full of many more blessings!
