Going for a run in the cool of the night and feeling your legs burn and your heart pound.
A hot bath with perfumed soap, a yummy drink and a great book to read.
Squealing girls jumping through the sprinkler (although my neighbour might think they're annoying).
Stroking items off a to-do list.
Packing a bag and loading the van.
A fresh coat of paint on a wall that needs a change.
Great friends who call me, encourage me, challenge me and laugh with me.
Really talking to my almost 16 year old son (who most days thinks I am the single biggest freak on the planet) and reaching out to touch him without him recoiling like I have cooties.
Feeling like my jeans fit.
Having a best friend who knows all your shit and would never tell a soul.
The way the sun glistens on the water and the land is a gigantic patchwork quilt of greens, yellows, blues and browns.
A delightfully light lunch with mom.
Being invited to meet with friends for a drink on the patio.
Knowing that no matter what happens everything will be exactly as it will be... perfect.
The sun on my shoulders and uber-cool sunglasses.
Living a moment with intention, without assunptions, with faith, without expectations, with joy and without taking anything personally.
Breathing deep.
I'm on the up-swing.
