spending time at barnes and noble with jonny, a big pile of books, and two yummy drinks
watching pride and prejudice and giggling
watching the last hour of walk the line and smiling with delight as june finally says yes
stroking millie's forehead
packaging up a new anya tote to send across the country to a new customer
opening up some new bits for flags from speckled egg
my mother's patience as we talked today and her ideas as we brainstorm what we are going to make when she comes to visit and her encouragement to always make the things that i enjoy making instead of getting caught up in a need to "make money"
my father calling to say "how are you?" and then listening when i burst into tears
walt whitman's leaves of grass
knowing that to open one's heart is to live
knowing i will soon fall asleep with my head on my husband's chest
