Blossom4 was delighted when we opened a door upstairs at my aunt's house and came across a bouncy horse. She kept saying, "Mama, dis is pitty cool!" Her little cousin was equally thrilled, though not nearly so skilled a rider. (By the end, Blossom4 looked like a professional jockey, standing up on stirrups and doing one-sided fancy rides.)
For my part, I was thrilled with the simple pleasures of Starbucks (almost) every day, inside jokes with my family, silly songs my aunts taught me when I was a little girl, familiar familial sites, thoughts of Christmases long, long ago, old pictures, mementos of the love of other generations, silly texting with my husband and a surprise Dr. Pepper.
This post is really just a subtle way to count my blessings. What can you count today?
