thursday's "the little things"

so today i decided to link up with a serenade for solitude to participate in thursday's "the little things."

"Thursday's 'The Little Things' is a documentation of recent things or moments which have

moved, excited, stirred, beckoned, or inspired--

each pulling on my heart-strings in a special sort of way."

i think it's a brilliant idea to set aside some time to remember all those special moments that blessed you throughout the week...to remember, not what you don't have, but what you do have and how abundant and beautiful those little things really are. :)

all the co-workers in my department complimenting my work.

lots of alone time with God.

my little brother's voice on the other end of the phone, telling me he had this "crazy, brilliant idea" for me to drive up in july to see the transformers 3 premier with him at midnight

& how excited he got when i said that of course i would be there.

two really solid "hurts-so-good" gym sessions.

getting a postcard from one of my best friends who is currently in new zealand.

a marvelous pedicure

& enjoying the sight of the pink nail polish on my little toeses.

eating lots of fruits and veggies.

the extra sunlight we've been having at the end of each and every day.

finding a few awesome new country songs. :)

time on the beach with a vanilla chai latte in hand.

watching the 3rd season of "it's always sunny" for the second time in a row and how every single episode never ceases to make me laugh.

the sweet little blonde and red highlights that got added into my hair.

the taste of the chocolate mint cake someone brought in for st. patrick's day!
