** sitting by a friend at church and feeling so at ease and loved
** evening sun streaming in the window
** enjoying fresh squeezed orange juice
** recognizing how much debt I've paid
** realizing I have quite a few short-sleeved shirts for this warm weather
** photos of my niece and nephews
** gathering little doodles and interesting photos to hang up at work
** seeing white butterflies all day
** the cutest grey and black dog at the beach
** my wish that he would wander over to me came true and he was even cuter up close
** feet in the sand
** feet in the water
** the way watching the waves roll in and out clears the clutter out of my brain
** the funny hairdos that come from 2 hours near the ocean
** a friend who was up for a day at the beach!
** being satisfied with salad
** noticing gorgeous white flowers right outside my window
** experiencing calmness in the face of chaos - this is not always the case but it was one of my superpowers today
** getting groceries today so I won't need to on the weekend
** deciding not to do laundry this afternoon
** the tiny simple joy of a new toothbrush
** expectation of seeing my brothers and one of my nephews in a few weeks
** plans to see friends this weekend
** having a coworker call me "sweet Jen"
** the way the late afternoon sun shines through the leaves
** sitting on the grass and soaking up the sun
