You Know What's Great?




christmas morning


  • Sitting with a three-year-old who is singing "Jingle Bells" on a crowded train full of tired grumpy adults, and watching all their miserable faces start to brighten.
  • Minding your own business at your computer until you hear that same three-year-old call from the bathroom, "Katie, I'm going poo-poo too!"  And hollering back, "Good job!"
  • Receiving a mysterious special delivery--with no sign of its sender--from a freezing but cheery old postman on a bicycle.
  • A Christmas count-down paper chain sent to you by your sister and full of masterfully-selected Christmas quotes.
  • Stonehenge at solstice time.
  • Matt's Christmas morning gift of a full-blown Riverdance in dangerously short running shorts (no, he does not know how to Irish dance). 
  • Ringing in the new year with ten bazillion streamers and party poppers, creating a joyous and wonderful mess beyond anything before created in this flat.
  • Family.    To all you who live close to family -- luckyyy!
