hot coffee first thing in the morning, outside in the sun, on the seat by the herb garden, watching the three day old baby chicks climbing all over their mum and listening to one of the older girls doing a bad impersonation of a rooster, a great start to a day off university with my fiancée having a day off work too. doesn't get too much better right now. even the ginger kitty is being good for a change.
 
Last week I was sitting out right at first light during an elk hunt, waiting for something to happen. When the sun broke over the mountain there was a beautiful blue sky, I looked over to my left, and 2 deer were walking up the hillside to my left, far out on the next ridge was a group of cow elk with their calves, and then, as if it could get any better, the littlest cloud right over me starting dropping a light dusting of snow. It was magnificent.

What a wonderful thread to start. I loved reading the posts too.

My happy thought for the day is... my "baby" turns 16 today! He is happy, healthy and gives me just as much joy as he did the day he was born. Happy birthday Raymond

I had a kind of unexpected happy moment the other day. I was grumbling to myself about doing laundry- the endless loading and unloading, folding, hanging up and putting away, all while incredibly uncomfortable because I am 37 weeks pregnant and absolutely miserable. Suddenly, though, I realized how blessed I am to have a family that means so much to me when so many people, surely more deserving of love and comfort than I, are alone in the world. Then I thought how each dirty shirt and pair of slacks represented a day at work for my husband in an economy where so many people can't find work. Every grass and mud stain I had to treat reminded me how thankful I should be that my son is happy and healthy enough to run and play. Suddenly each of my husband's shirts and every pair of my son's jeans seemed so precious to me. I guess it was kind of like an early Thanksgiving! I never thought doing laundry could make me so happy!

My brother called me today, for the first time in a number of years. I love that guy, and I am grateful that he called.
