Things that make me happy:

• Smiling first thing in the morning, and receiving one back.

• Phone calls with my mom.

• Messages from Daisy – hearing that she misses me.

• The kitten, purring when we wake up.

• The first mouthful of a fresh Caramel Latte.

• Opening letters.  (Not bills!)

• Getting to see pictures of people I love.

• Having a really awesome picture turn out really awesome!

• When patients are so happy to see their baby, they cry.  It makes me cry.

• Watching “The West Wing” with Brock.

• Those last few stolen moments before we REALLY have to get out of bed now.

• Being able to really appreciate a day off.

• Buying things for someone else, and seeing them wear/use it.

• Hearing that I’m doing a good job.

• Listening to a really good song, and singing to it a little too loudly.

• Buying a new shampoo and conditioner.

• Feeling like I accomplished something.

• Videos of my niece, Kiera.

• Hearing from people I haven’t seen in ages.  (Grandpa emailed me!)

I get to see my mom and dad in 2 days.  I’m going to cry, undoubtedly.  I can’t wait…  I miss them so much!  Two days until Vegas!!!
