Things that make me smile…
Mornings with coffee and my journal (which are really just a distant memory these days, but I still like the memory)
Traveling… anywhere and as much as possible
Feeling like I am helping families connect and people grow
Cozy evenings in with my husband, particularly with nachos and a great movie
Cooking for good friends with good music playing
Watching my sweet girls play together and laugh together (and NOT fight!!!)
And things that don’t…
Judgmental people
Waiting (for most anything)
Wind
Dirty kitchen counters
Seeing people hurt when it seems needless
