Small Pleasures

My sister inspired this activity. It's very therapeutic -
My list of 20 small pleasures to enjoy everyday:
1. Eating when I'm hungry (not exactly a radical concept I know, but it's new to me )
2. TIVO!! No commercials, watch on demand, I could go on and on...
3. The hilarious and often very sweet actions of my drama students
4. Hip-hop radio. I love a good beat to get me "dancing" in my car
5. Soundtracks from Musicals
6. Air Wick scented oil air fresheners in my home
7. Sitting in a coffee shop and journaling or studying
8. Learning all the fascinating details about Law. It's infinite.
9. Talking my husbands ear off about the fascinating details about Law
10. Walking my crazy dog on a beautiful day
11. My kitty curling up in my lap and licking my hand. She is so sweet!
12. Reading my sisters blog.
13. Texting my friends and family to let them know how much I love them.
14. A nice hot shower
15. Aromatherapy. Currently into lavender.
16. Greta, Ashley, Sarah, and Ellen
17. My best friend who is also my husband
18. God's presence being fullness of joy
19. Rising above my circumstances because of God's grace and help
20. Quick Trip coffee selection. I love making my special concoction!

I'm ba-aack...

Wonder of wonders! I actually decided to post. Think I might just get back into blogging for a minute.
They're gonna be short and sweet so don't get too excited. Today's is a list of 3 -
1. I heart Trader Joes. Oh they make my life so easy! Currently in the fridge I have (cooked) all natural chicken breast, gourmet burritos, buffalo burgers, salmon en croute, panko breaded tilapia, spinach, haricot verts, and some awesome turkey meatballs. All just waiting to be heated and consumed. Thank you Lord for cheap all natural convenience food.
2. I am surrendering. Today I am giving every moment of my life over to Jesus. I have to be able to trust Him with everything or I will never be able to truly LIVE. I am tired of just surviving. With me in control, things ain't too great so I'm turning it over to Him.
3. Hooray for Spring! Almost as beautiful as fall but not quite. Nothing compares to fall but I digress...I am thrilled to see the sun and green grass again.
Signing off from Atl. My favorite hip hop radio station here in hot-lanta says"This is Atlanta Shorty!!" I'll leave you with that :)
