13 Things That Make My Heart Sing

Posted on January 24, 2008 - Filed Under 13 Things |

I haven´t been able to do Wordless Wednesday because I´m still on my brother-in-law´s computer and it has very limited space for downloading photos, so I´m going to try and get back into Thursday Thirteen. To bring the mood up a bit, I´m going with 13 things that make my heart sing. :D

1. Waking up this morning to “Mama, Mama!” (from Dante)

2. Watching Dorian try to lift his bubba off the floor when the little guy has fallen over.

3. Sitting outside under a palm tree, with bananas hanging over my head and the birds singing and the sun shining.

4. Having an hour free to sit and read a magazine or book.

5. Reading comments from you.

6. Getting an email from my grandmother, telling me about life in Canada.

7.  Seeing Dante pull himself into a standing position and then promptly fall down because he started to clap for himself. (well, that´s more of a laugh, but really, my heart sings because my little baby is getting so independent!)

8. Hearing Dorian say “I love you, Mama.” in perfect English.

9. Drinking coffee and relaxing on the couch while the boys play quietly on the floor, a rare occurance

10. Seeing all the dishes washed and put away, something that only happens when Irving helps me out!

11. Listening to music from the 50´s and 60´s.

12. Writing a really great article or story, one that even I think is good.

13. Knowing that I am done with my blog assignments for the day and can just relax.

    Those are all things that make me smile too. Especially,#7, I loved watching my kids learn to walk, and then when #9 happens and I really cherish those moments.

    Happy TT!

    BTW~ Your comment had me smiling. I started laughing and my husband, couldn’t help but ask me what I found so funny! He read it, and starting shaking his head. That about sums it up just perfectly.

    Sitting back, drinking coffee… Now that I like!!!

    And reading comments are always fun as well!!

    But, 50’s & 60’s music?? What for, I think that 70’s & 80’s is better, just a dagie, but better!!!
