1) The first minute laying down in bed, when the physical exhaustion meets the mental exhaustion and I can turn it all off and relax.
2) A kiss on my forehead from my husband.
3) The raft of baby pictures hanging on the front of our refrigerator.
4) Starting a walk at 8:00 in the evening and knowing it will still be light out when I’ve finished.
5) The feel of wind buffeting me as I ride my bike.
6) Listening to country music cranked up loud in my truck, driving fast on a back road, windows rolled down, air conditioning turned up as high as it will go.
7) The sounds of kids laughing, screaming, and playing in the park.
8) An evening curled up in a ball on the couch, reading a Sookie Stackhouse book.
9) Knowing I can pay for my bills and maybe even a pedicure, too.
10) The days of freedom that summer gives me.
Oooh! Excellent idea!

9. Driving home with the radio off, daydreaming.
10. Lying in bed rehashing the day before falling asleep holding hands.
