Leasie is sick today. The fever, sore throat, feel rotten kind. We stayed home from church together, snuggling on the couch, in an uncommonly quiet house. At some point in the morning - somewhere between games of connect four and reading stories, I asked Leasie, "What do you love?" The idea was to help her think about something other than her aches and pains. The question prompted a wonderful exchange...here are just some of the things we love.
Playing outside on a warm sunny day
Reading a good book on a stormy day
Popsickles on a hot day
Cuddling - doesn't matter where or when
Singing at the top of our lungs to our favorite Broadway musicals
Dancing - and watching Leasie dance
Christmas morning
Hot chocolate and popcorn after a sledding adventure
Baby C - she makes us so happy!
Coloring Easter Eggs, keeping the eggs in the dye as long as possible
Cute, soft baby bunnies (Leasie's rabbit is going to have a litter in April)
Bare toes burried in warm sand (especially Myrtle Beach sand)
Afterschool hugs and kisses
Yellow taxis, smell of roasted peanuts, lights of Time Square - NYC
New clothes
Watching Leasie play her violin
Pizza and a movie on Friday Family Fun Night
The world is full of things to love. Sometimes it just takes a quiet morning on the couch, snuggling with my Leasie, for me to remember just how wonderful life is.
