Little Things

12/20/10... Gray foggy morning. School is out, and the street is quiet. Delicious fresh coffee, spiced with cinnamon. Waking up refreshed after the all too rare, good night's sleep. Tiny birds splashing in the birdbath. Going for a drive last night to see Christmas lights and illuminarias: oh how we adore this twinkly sparkly holiday! Looking forward to socializing with friends, tonight and tomorrow. Anticipating the official arrival of Winter. Traveling soon, to see family. Cards arriving from friends and loved ones. Marking tasks off the 'to do' list. Today, I am grateful for a lot of little things, fleeting moments, and tiny details. I love how these little things add up to bigger things. Things like peace and happiness.
