Oh what a lovely topic Christie. Too few of us ever think or give thanks for those simple little things really.

Here's a few of mine....

- snuggling with Mikey early in the morning when he's all warm and still a bit sleepy - he's my youngest and the time is fast approaching when I won't have a little pj clad kiddo that wants to snuggle with mom in the morning

- enjoying that first morning coffee and a chapter of my current paperback early in the morning while everyone else is still asleep and the house is quiet

- watching our favorite Tuesday evening tv shows with Mike - sure it's not the most exciting thing a couple can do but it's our weekly "us" time and we really try to schedule our week and our family around that

- watching Mikey's amazement at the treasures in our local museum (even if he's totally convinced it's all "pirate treasure!!!!!" LOL)

- having one of our three teenagers actually for one shining second think I'm cool

- flipping off that last light at night, curling up on the couch and enjoying Grey's Anatomy (even if Mike thinks it's a silly girlie show LOL) - my time, for me once a week (and Dr. McDreamy makes it soooooo worthwhile!)

Some days around here are tough, that's life for any of us really isn't it. Some blessings are hard to see unless you look for them, hold them a moment and treasure them for what they truly are...thanks for helping me reflect a moment today Christie on some of mine.
