Top O’ The Morning! Happy St Patrick’s Day to you!  Today is one of those days that we are to recognize and appreciate the good in our lives. We should really do this everyday, but today I am feeling especially lucky. Why? Here are ten little ways that I know that I am one of the luckiest people in the whole world. (If you see no photos on this page, I intend on taking them this weekend. Check back to see them later!)

1. Snuggly, yummy, cheeks to chew on.

2. A smile and a giggle to start my day.

3. A warm cup of coffee with my favorite creamer in it.

4. A phone call from a friend and a message from a sister.

5. An open door at a friend’s house with kids waiting inside to keep mine busy for the morning.

6. Time to smell the first blooms of spring.

7. The pitter patter of little feet. Especially ones in footie pajamas.

8. A peaceful moment to myself.

9. A roof over my head to shelter the rain, because living in Washington it happens just about every day.

10. The ability to freeze time, or capture memories in motion.

May the road rise up to meet you;
May the wind be always at your back;
& May God hold you int the palm of His hand.
(This Irish blessing was sung. To us on our wedding day, and it has always been a favorite of mine.)
