Ten blissful things

• Waking up with toasty warm toes, and being able to stay in bed for awhile and enjoy them.
• A newly opening rose in my very own garden.
• Hearing my children belly laugh together over something at the kitchen table--all four of them together.
• Leaves. I love leaves. I especially love them in May, when they are new but not tiny.
• Hiking near a waterfall.
• When each one of the socks in the laundry load has a mate at the end of folding.
• 80 degrees F.
• Shade on a sunny day.
• Fresh strawberries, ripe and warm from the patch.
• Going to bed at the end of a productive day.
