This week has been filled with small and simple things that have lifted my spirits. I'm posting some below, and hope you'll add some of your own. I love when another person lifts the veil from my eyes so I can see the delight hidden all around. :)
PS I've posted a Youtube video that touched me this week below
--Watching and listening to children laughing and playing during recess
--Green sprigs of grass poking up through cement canyons in the sidewalk
--Hearing squirrels bicker
--The blessed, wonderful smell of rain-kissed air
--Twittering birds in tall skeletous trees
--Friends to chat with
--An unseen angel putting away the curb garbage cans
--Words of wisdom that touch my soul
--Talking with my family, text messages from my family
--Jumping with both feet into puddles
--Letters in the mail
--Indian leftovers for dinner during a hectic week
--Basking in the colored glow of my living room after turning off the main light but before turning off the Christmas lights
--Finding joy through serving others
--Beautiful music
--Finding answers to my prayers
--Finding a lost relative during family history research (FIRST ONE EVER!!! I'm so totally thrilled!!!)
--Gorgeous gray, blue, white and purple clouds filling the sky
--Making not one, but TWO goals during human foosball ('twas awesome!)
--Shriveled, delicate, dried red berries dangling from a brown-twigged shrub
--Feeling rain patter on my hair and stream down my face, grateful I forgot the umbrella :)
--Walking home in a t-shirt, carrying my coat
--And... spotting DANDELION LEAVES IN A PERSON'S LAWN!!! SPRING IS COMING!!! :D :D :D

Ivy, I love your list. I, too, walked home carrying my coat and it was delightful. Also, I know the thrill of finding a lost ancestor! I'm sure he/she is thrilled, too. Thanks for your posts. They always make me smile. You have such a talent for creative descriptive writing. Oh, and happy belated birthday!
