Little Bits of Happy

We are so busy and run down here at the Duncan abode. Seems like I can't even find a minute to just sit and do nothing - much less to write a coherent blog. Phillip's parents are coming in town tomorrow evening to spend the weekend with us, so you can imagine that I am all in a tizzy cleaning and planning.

Jack has a cold - or allergies - or something that is making his nose yucky.

Phillip just called to say that he's coming home early because he feels yucky too.

And me? Yep. Yucky.

So, I have decided to take a minute today to think about a few things that, amidst all the craziness, make me smile.

• The steaming pot of coffee my precious husband makes me every morning and every night, without my even having to ask.
• Having been married for 7 years to a man who still makes me 2 pots of coffee a day.
• The basket of pink petunias hanging outside my kitchen window that my parents gave me for Mother's Day.
• Sergio Mora winning a million on the Contender!
• The Jasmine Incense I bought today at Davis-Kidd, just because I wanted it.
• The incredibly sweet "just because" note from my dear friend Alicia that arrived at the precise moment I needed it.
• The two pounds I have lost so far this week on my permanent journey to SKINNY!

And my very favorite Happy this week:

• Tippy-toes.

I could just eat those toes up!

And Jack has been putting those toes to good use as of late. Ladies and Gentlemen, Jack Duncan has started walking! Now, crawling is still his preferred method of transportation, but a couple of nights ago, he took ten whole wobbly steps all by himself! I definitely think that before long, with a little practice, he'll be walking full-time!

And I think I'm busy now...
