according.to.kim: This morning, I enjoyed...

May 02, 2011

the silence of my house as I sipped my coffee
my new hair cut -- I had about 4 inches trimmed off on Friday, and I love it
seeing the light under Sophia's bedroom door which tells me she chose to read instead of running to watch TV
a good snuggle with Georgia while she sat on my lap wrapped in a blanket
a conversation with Madeline about her strong clothing preferences (she said she has "different opinions")
seeing Madeline reading a book to Georgia while I got ready for work
the bright sunshine in my face and the sound of a woodpecker on a power pole as I walked to the bus stop

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
