I Love

the way fireflies sparkle at sunset.
the sound of muffled voices of my children when they are supposed to be sleeping.
the smell of fresh baked cookies wafting upstairs.
the long conversations I have with my friends.
when my husband takes a day off in the middle of the week during school.

hiking through the bright colors of the north Georgia mountains in fall.
floating on my back in the pool the relaxation of it and the quiet
to see ice on the branches of trees turning everything into a winter wonderland.
to watch hummingbirds darting to and fro sometimes fighting over a feeder.
the warmth of my children's lips on my cheeks giving me kisses goodnight.
