Today I found a quiet place, closed my eyes, and just started thinking of things that make me smile....my favorite things. I've listed a few, in no particular order, as a comment. What are yours?
- when the light hits the red mountain just so and sets it on fire - when my kids are wrestling and all I can see is a jumble of arms and legs and laughing faces - limp boooooodddddddyyyy - when Katie’s eyes turn violet - the feel of alpaca or cashmere running through my fingers - driving down mountain roads and never seeing another car - touch - road trips down the back roads - soccer games in the fall - seeing my kid on stage, performing her heart out - moonlight dancing on the open ocean - hot desert winds in August - brilliant architecture - total silence - looking in his eyes and knowing he’s still my best decision, ever - my warm furry puppies - lightening storms - floating in cool water on a hot day - live-oak trees covered with Spanish moss - people who are completely honest - New Orleans’ Vieux Carré - riverboats - intelligent conversation - campfires - sugar-white sand against emerald green water - gentle souls
I'm trying to get back in the habit of writing every day. Lately, I've been working on character sketches. Some of those will find their way here, in the form of individual comments to this post.

Tahoe sunsets, and sunrises...
Walking down 10th Street in Santa Monica on a clear summer's evening...
