These moments fill me with joy and hope and love and I am grateful:

The start of a new day – new opportunities, a fresh outlook, a hope-filled heart.

An evening at our favorite pizza place, talking and laughing, and savoring each bite of cheesy, oregano-flavored goodness!

Enjoying our three daughters, giggling, chattering and having fun together

The excitement of my youngest daughter, Kari, as she prepares to move to her first apartment

The willingness of my husband, Dave, to help her with her move

The arrival, from North Carolina, of my brother, Gary, his wife, Elizabeth, and his oldest daughter, Kim!!!  Let the fun begin!

The gifts from my dear friend, Carol!  Copies of the Beacon Journal article, a hand-crafted card/poster, filled with cheery colors, and lovely words, and a very thoughtful, and much appreciated gift for Kylia!  Thank you, Carol!!!

The arrival of a treasured flower from the wedding bouquet of wonderful Lucy Anne!!  Thank you, thank you, Lucy Anne!!!  I love it!!!  And thank you, Crystal, for sending it to me!  Amazing and greatly appreciated!

Friends who stay in touch with me, almost daily.  Sharon, Carol, Crystal, Jean, Gayle, Katie, Diane, Mark, my sister, Faun, Peg, Kathie……

Having dinner at Mrs. Yoder’s Kitchen twice in one week!!!  YUMMMM!

I’m making the most of every moment.  Hope you are, too!!
