Special moments

Waking up from a good night’s sleep in a warm bed and realizing that you don’t have to get up if you don’t want to.

The squeal of pure delight as your one-year old granddaughter recognizes a picture of her favorite cartoon character in a book the two of you are reading.

A gentle touch on your shoulder as your wife passes your chair.

An unexpected phone call from an old-friend wanting to get together for lunch and you have the time.

Being late for an appointment and realizing that all of the traffic signals are turning green as you approach the intersection.

Watching a doe and her fawn along side the road and being thankful they aren’t in your yard.

The look of pure joy on the face of your dog when you come through the door.

The realization that your favorite TV show has been renewed for another season.

And, the recognition that these special moments are just part of one day.
