"the joy of it can be the point of it." - jon acuff
yaya's willingness to have zoe for a bit on sunday (and that she thought of that/offered)(sometimes i don't even know what i need enough to ask for it...)
LJ's thoughtfulness - prizes for everyone from stars and strikes
yaya's grass mowing
molly's kindness to keep kids friday - and make a pre-costa rica lunch date with my favorite date possible
messages from emma (and getting to talk to her and nick while they are in costa rica)
cleaning up and cleaning out
the way suzie gives a task when you ask if you can help
celebrating LJ's life with swimming and food and presents and such
the way zoe seems to take extra peaceful naps when i have lots of adoption paperwork to take care of
pre-birthday brownies for LJ and friends
multiple games of capture the flag with the gaggle of kids around (kids outside means that it's quiet inside...running around outside means they aren't on screens inside...they're working together, not fussing!)
seeing this out of the window - i like to imagine that eli and aaron are having a heart to heart...not sure if that's the case or if they are just guarding their flag
reminders of life change in waves of mercy
katie came for a visit. her company...her helpfulness...her coffee...all great gifts
the lovely smell of coffee
