A Few of My Favorite Things...

In the last several weeks, things have been a little crazy.  I spoke for the first time on Mother's Day.  It was an experience that I truly cherished, although I was insanely nervous about it.  Two days later, I found myself in an ER after experiencing what we now figure to be an anxiety attack.  Me?  An anxiety attack?!  Seriously, I'm one of the most laid back people I know.  However, considering the pressure I allowed myself to feel, it becomes a lot more understandable--not to mention the fact that I'm a mother of two young boys, my husband and I just started a church, and our income changes like the wind (to name just a few).

So, for my post today, I'd like to take from Philippians 4:8 and "think on these things"...a few of my favorite things in life (warning: don't take this too seriously!):

• Laying my head down on the pillow to drift asleep.
• That first sip of a tall caramel mocha (Starbucks, of course).
• Cale grabbing my face, turning it to one side, and kissing me on the cheek.
• Camden singing his heart out.
• My (still) living flowers in my otherwise horrendous flower bed.
• The arrival of my Real Simple issue.
• When both of the boys are peacefully napping at the same time (these are too rare!).
• Pappasito's steak fajitas.
• Date nights.
• Being all.  By.  My.  Self.
• Buying something already on sale and finding out it's another 25% off when you get to the counter!
• The day those jeans finally fit again.
• 75 degrees.
• Hearing from a friend.
• Making a new friend.
• The moment people from my past realize I'm not the girl I used to be.
• Thus, second chances.
• The smell of honeysuckle that's so great this time of year.
• New life.
• Being the one to find something that's been lost.
• When people laugh at my cheesy-ness.
• When the flashing lights behind me go around me!
• Having a good laugh.
• Having a good experience shopping at Walmart with my kids.
• On-line grocery shopping.

Alright, that's all for now.  There's much more, but I'll spare you!  Have a great day!
