20 reasons to rejoice
Permalink  

For me it's the little things and this list really spoke to me.  I thought I would share this with all of you.   


20 reasons to rejoice:


1. A hug from your kids


2. Stopping after one piece of chocolate (o.k. maybe two)


3. A full moon (I like lightning and thunder storms too)


4. The loss of 10 pounds


5. Your half birthday


6. Getting the kids to bed on time


7. Finding the other earring


8. Your laugh lines


9. A clean-enough house


10. The first time you notice how much you resemble your mother (and don't cringe)


11. Find $5 in your pocket -- even better, finding $10


12. The first snowfall (up here in New England anyway)


13. Every time your children say "love you too" as they rush out the door.


14. A good night's sleep


15. The start of the school year


16. The end of the school year


17. Finishing work earlier than expected


18. A really good hair day


19. The first peek of sun after a rainstorm


20. Your favorite song that you love to sing aloud to


21. The how-did-I-get-so-lucky way that special someone looks at you


I'm 17 for 21 -- see how you fare in rejoicing - ENJOY - Maria123

Thanks ((((((Maria)))))).


Those are great!  Hmmmmm.....I havent experienced some of those, most notably finding the other earring, though come to think of it, I did find the ex's "missing" earring a time or two, so maybe I have!  


Glad you shared that!


David
