Bright Spots

Yep, I'm a little Eeyore-ish these past few days. Kind of a bummer to admit that, but there it is. Still there are bright spots, graces, silver linings, so to speak. Here's a list:

*Kevin and my kids
*Extended family
*Wonderful friends from near and far
*Little presents to make me feel special, and to commemorate a little life; cards; e-mails; phone calls; prayers
*Moms Group
*Everyday stuff that is equal parts annoying and comforting (laundry, for example)
*Coconut Lime Verbena Body Lotion - it smells delicious, reminding me not only of a tropical locale, but of Alhambra, California; silent retreats; little luxuries; and above all, friendship.
