It’s the simple things in life that bring us the most joy.

My favorite things:

• Sam all dressed for church
• Tickling Lily
• Talking to Bailey about her friends
• Planning a camping  trip with Jack
• Seeing the leaves after a grey winter
• Graces fluffy curls after a bath
• Anything Sam cooks for me.  I sit in my chair at the table like a King recieving his glory
• Fresh sheets in the bed
• The smell of bacon frying
• Thinking about our new baby – Kimi
• Hugging my kids (when they hug back)
• The whisper of the Rolleiflex shutter firing
• The height of my drivers seat in the Trooper
• My old ratty chair (it used to be Sams)
• Waking up with Sam
• A good quality movie and buttered popcorn
• Superior quality sculpture
• When all the bills are paid
• A solid days work
• Seeing the gas gauge at full
• Time to absorb poetry
• The 1st tee box with friends
• Steak at cafe 207 in San Clemente
• Boarding a cruise ship
• The smile Sam gets when she’s happy
• The smell of a roll of film as my 35mm camera shoots
• Buying new clothing for Sam
• The ride home from church
